No, should really only be relevant for display coherency bugs, not unhappy
gpus. I think the biggest risk there is that flushing at inopportune times
might upset the hardware. But since these operations happen at few times
per frame we can't dump a tracing stream of debug noise by default.

So nothing to add here until we have dynamic debugging or some other means
for more fine-grained debug logging.
