I think you hit the nail on the head, especially for deeply embedded enterprise software. The long action chains/time taken to set up debugging scenarios is what makes debugging time consuming. Solving the inference side of things would be great, but I feel it takes too much knowledge not in the codebase OR the LLM to actually make an LLM useful once you are set up with a debugging state.

Like you said, running over a stream of events, states and data for that debugging scenario is probably way more helpful. It would also be great to prime the context with business rules and history for the company. Otherwise LLMs will make the same mistake devs make, not knowing the "why" something is and thinking the "what" is most important.
