That's exactly what I meant: you have to explain and get people to use a
special workflow. It's neither more nor less difficult than the Gerrit
way, but again it needs explaining, and the idea that "people just know
what to do; onboarding is simpler" just goes out of the window.

They know how to get started (fork, push branch, PR), then on the discussion some additional constraints arise (only when necessary as some contributions can be a single commit). So I think onboarding is simpler because the challenge of adopting project-specific practices happens further down the road, while the contributor has already invested effort and produced value to the project without being slowed down very early by learning the Gerrit way.
