This doesn't work if you have branch protection rules blocking pushes to main, which in my opinion should be standard on any repo

Oh I forgot about that. I mostly work on private repo (free account) so that feature isn't available to me.

Nope. Pushing to main is only disallowed by default if you change history. A normal squash or rebase merge is allowed and should be allowed.
