So it is like 400MB repo vs 200MB repo with rewritten history.

IMHO, it is up to the user to decide how much history he/she wants to get.
There are also other "shallow" options:

--shallow-since=<date>

    Create a shallow clone with a history after the specified time.
--shallow-exclude=<revision>

    Create a shallow clone with a history, excluding commits reachable from a specified remote branch or tag. This option can be specified multiple times.

Another useful thing to use with git is worktrees. They allow you to checkout multiple branches simultaneously.
Basically, you need to check out one bare repo and create a bunch of worktrees.
Well, this depends on user's workflow.
