Have you considered fixup commits? On shared branches they work very well. Either autosquash before pushing, or as part of your final PR prep
What lands on the shared branch has a meaningful history, that has helped me more than once to understand the context in which an old change was made, when running git blame many months later.
I feel like it should be as easy to review the history as it is to review a PR. Squashing makes this a bit harder for me. Especially when autosquash loses long commit messages.
But I like to use git-absorb to automatically create fixup commits, it generally works pretty well and saves me a little bit of tedium each time!
