This is not an option, because these processes overlap: in a development
cycle both PRs may be solved and new requirements may be generated.
This can (and will) be done on the same branch, and hence linking to one
tracking system is insufficient.

That is an option. But I don't like adding infrastructure to work around
this limitation (maintenance, reduced traceability, etc.)

Yes, if we were to link in 27 or more systems, I agree :)

Well, it does happen (suites usually do not provide best-in-class tools,
so if you want best-in-class, you have to mix and match).
An additional reason for this is that we have a development process that
requires code review before commits, and these reviews are done using a
tracking system. Therefore, we encounter 2 different IDs in every commit.
