Git is my buddy: Effective Git as a solo developer
I think it very much depends how you use them. A great option to manage submodules is TwoSigma's "git-meta" https://github.com/twosigma/git-meta.
There's also just "meta" which is a cleaner way to approach the functionality of submodules https://github.com/mateodelnorte/meta.

Debian Git Monorepo
It's not only Windows that uses Git at Microsoft, but Sharepoint and Office (which includes the on-prem version of SharePoint). In terms of repo size Windows and Office are similar. I was part of the team that migrated Sharepoint from a Perforce clone to Git and helped build the tooling to allow Office to move as well. VFS for Git [1] and Scalar [2] are really good pieces of software.

Serving a Website from a Git Repo Without Cloning It
Congratulations! That means you basically figured out how the clone procedure works and found a way to do so just in a partial way (also in an unsafe way). But it is a cool idea, nonetheless.
Also check out the Scalar [1] project and its predecessor, GVFS [2], both from Microsoft to manage their monorepo via a VFS layer.

Software for managing config files
You mean like VFSforGit? Or the successor for that called Scalar? This has been a solved problem. Microsoft moved their entire Windows codebase to git. There have been a ton of huge improvements to performance as a result of that. And the above two plugins are easily better ways to deal with what you're referring to without resulting to dead tech.

WebKit Migrates from Subversion to GitHub
I was just looking at Microsoft's git VFS (https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit), which is deprecated and now points to Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), which is also deprecated? What's Microsoft's story with git now? Is there still a virtual file system involved?

An ex-Googler's guide to dev tools
Microsoft has/had a mono-repo based on the Git Virtual Filesystem, but future efforts have apparently moved towards the use of Scalar: https://github.com/microsoft/scalar

Improve Git monorepo performance with a file system monitor
This has been superceded by Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar) and again merged into Microsoft's fork of git (https://github.com/microsoft/git)
It supports neat stuff like partial clone which seems like a pretty big deal.

We Put Half a Million Files in One Git Repository, Here’s What We Learned
As mentioned in the blog "we are moving towards providing a known version of git", probably Microsoft Git which includes the scalar command but also upstreams many of the optimizations to git core https://github.com/microsoft/scalar#why-did-scalar-move
