I like to be like an accountant. No editing history. Create a new "journal entry" (i.e. commit) to fix.

Commit graph is just a data structure. Sometimes it represents a "history", sometimes other things.

Personally, I like it when project's repository represents the history of the project rather than the history of random things developers do on their machines, but you do you.

I am thinking of remote. Edits before pushing OK with me (they ate equivalent of recloning and redoing anyway)

Remotes aren't equal either. Sometimes the remote is my other machine, sometimes it's a fork on a forge used for producing CI artifacts.

It's a good rule of thumb to consider shared branches to be append-only, but not every remote branch is "shared" and, as with any proper rule of thumb, you can always find exceptions.

You probably shouldn’t be committing things that are broken…

You should be committing things that are broken all the time. Git works great as a persistent navigatible undo buffer, and you should commit every time you're in a state that you might want to return to.

With tools like GitHub Actions and some added constraints, it's not always possible. You literally need a commit to trigger the CI workflow and it starts to trash your branch. Besides, aren't we all familiar with git commit -m "typo"?

This is likely saying you shouldn't save a word document that contains spelling mistakes.

Commit yes you absolutely can. Merge to trunk? Probably not, depends on your strategy.
