Aren’t most of these native libraries open source? I’m a C# dev so maybe this is a naive question based on my experience but is there not a way to bring in the source of the C library and debug into it in these “hit the wall” situations?

You can, but then you have to setup and build the libraries in debug mode. You can then debug with gdb or visual studio. It is just a lot more work than debugging pure python.
