Large file handling has improved in recent versions, FWIW; large files are left untracked if they violate the size limit (no auto track), you have to selectively add them at that point. Note that you can unbloat your local copy by pruning the operation log and then running jj gc if you accidentally add blobs and stuff; though if you push the blobs somewhere you obviously can't undo that so easily, that's no different than Git.
Git's underlying storage format just isn't a very good fit for any kind of "large-ish file" storage; Git LFS is mostly just hack and it is unlikely to be supported anytime soon. Our hands are a bit tied on that front.
My impression is that most of the interest and momentum for solving the "large files problem" would preferably be invested in a native non-Git backend for Jujutsu.
