The hardening mode we enabled is quite recent added to libc++. It was proposed in 2022: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-c-buffer-hardening/65734. It was designed to run in prod, so it's quite fast. Previous debug modes I've seen came with a much higher costs, and therefore weren't (usually) enabled in prod.
