I use almost the same, just without submodules.

SRC_URI =
"git://git@git.example.com:1234/group/project.git;protocol=ssh"

It should "just work" if ssh is able to find your key. I often build in
a docker container, so I have to forward SSH_AGENT into it to be able
to fetch from internal projects without the need to mount the key into
the container. I don't really have any insight for builds outside
docker, if git clone works, the bitbake fetcher should too.

You should not need a ssh config file.
