I've used drush make on some projects and I really don't like using it.
I find it complicates the workflow for patching contrib modules, or working on my own patches to them, because those are not under direct version control. Hence I don't have the facility of being able to try things and back out of them with git revert or local branches.
Also, in teams where not everyone is comfortable with drush, having one big git repo makes things easier.
Though actually, it doesn't seem to have been committed to 6.x.
Oops. I skim-read to the end of that issue and saw it was still open and on 8.x. Thanks for the correction!
It's a configuration file, but if you change your .htaccess it's a change to core you may have to reproduce after future core updates.
I read the issue you linked, and it was fixed in core two years ago:

The issue was reopened because blocking all "dot" directories had unintended side-effects. Your .git directories are safe though.
