Largely we rebase so that all PRs are defacto Fast Forward merges. Rebasing on publicly visible branches (PRs and the like) is common, although rebasing major branches (Master or a release) is not. We're small enough that we can get away with that if we must, though (usually if someone breaks something badly).

Basically, developers rebase all the time on their own branches, and rebase over their target branch (fixing conflicts) so that the PR is fast forward.

Agree on the git model thing, I feel like I have a reasonable idea of how git functions under the hood now, so I can figure out what most operations should do, even if I haven't used them before.
