You shouldn't be relying on hooks to maintain the integrity of your codebase, and I'm not seeing anything here that makes me want to avoid `pre-commit` (or, more literally, the https://pre-commit.com/ tool). CI must be the source of truth for whether a commit is acceptable.

If you're using `pre-commit` the tool, not merely the hook, you can also use something like https://github.com/andrewaylett/pre-commit-action to run the tool in CI. It's a really good way to share check definitions between local development and CI, meaning you've shifted your checks to earlier in the pipeline.

I use Jujutsu day-to-day, which doesn't even support pre-commit hooks. But the tooling is still really useful, and making sure we run it in CI means that we're not relying on every developer having the hooks set up. And I have JJ aliases that help pre-commit be really useful in a JJ workflow: https://github.com/andrewaylett/dotfiles/blob/7a79cf166d1e7b...
