If you have LFS in the repo, enabling sparse checkouts is catastrophic for LFS performance due to LFS slowly enumerating every file in the repo one-by-one ignoring sparse-checkout filters and LFS own --include.
This is fixed by enabling sparse index, which is pretty much a requirement for git-lfs compatibility with sparse checkout, see git-lfs/git-lfs#5796
Checking for settings.lfs doesn't quite work here as lfs might be disabled during the initial checkout and accessed later in scripts (actually that's our case).
