Why do you want those commits though? In my experience people only look at history a) to see who wrote the code / when it was last changed, which works equally well with any approach, b) to see which feature it was part of, for which you will click through to the PR anyway, or c) to bisect for when a bug was introduced, in which case unedited/unrebased "noise" commits are more useful because you have more guarantee that each commit compiles and the original train of thought is more useful than the fictional history when you're looking for something unintentional.
