Random thoughts and personal opinions:

1) It would have been better to have started this discussion on another
thread. "Conversion stalled" isn't going to attract many of the
stakeholders.

2) Trunk and branches/release (i.e. develop and master) matter. Sandbox
doesn't matter. I'm a bit surprised we are even bothering with sandbox. Do
what is best for trunk and branches/release.

3) As a library maintainer, I want all line endings in my libraries to be
faithfully preserved by Git, both at conversion and into the future. I see
it as quite a black eye for Git if that can't happen.
