In addition to performing redundant work, this also impacts build reproducibility for native image generators which might already have a strategy to cope with hidden classes but cannot cope with indeterminate definition order for lambda proxy classes.

Sure, that's fine. I think debugging is a totally valid consideration; in fact it might be nice to have a broader facility for dumping of any hidden class (maybe that's what you are alluding to). But if you think it's best to wait then I won't pursue it further at this time.
