We can reflow it for better inlineability, throwing out the non-essential parts into cold method. There is also no reason to peek into java mirror with (default) keep-alive, if we only use the result for null-check.

I feel "debug" log level is kind of high since we may encounter a lot of these; for such unbound micro-prints I usually use "trace". Up to you.
