Mixture of product and fastdebug builds in GHA

Hi, we recently had a PR that failed our fastdebug builds, but worked nicely with product.
Of course this can happen;  but I was surprised to see that the  GHAs of this PR were all 'green' .

So does that mean, that we build all GHA builds with debug level release/product and none with fastdebug ?
If so, could we maybe in future use some mixture, like most product but a few e.g. one on Linux one on macOS fastdebug  ?

At least on Linux, AIX and Windows the build times of our nightly product and fastdebug makes are not so much different, so regarding resource consumption/build times
this might be fine on some platforms.

Best regards, Matthias
