(Note that, in the part of the message you left out, I said I wouldn't
mind Emacs maintainers binding C-x g to something new, as I consider it
to be their prerogative.)

FWIW, I've spent this past week with

    (my/define-prefix-command my/magit-map
      "Keymap for Magit commands."
      '(("c" magit-file-dispatch)
        ("f" magit-find-file)
        ("g" magit-status)
        ("x" magit-dispatch)))

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") 'my/magit-map)

… and been none the worse for wear.  What "frustrating misinputs" I had
were mostly due to forgetting to "git pull" my dotfiles on another
computer.
