It is only a PITA to debug on paper, not when using a graphical debugger.

How so? Visual studio still doesn’t reveal the right context when you actually find out the error has occurred.

Nice! Tooling is a large part of my trouble with FP, better tooling would make it easier to debug, especially those complex signal networks that require different debugging paradigms from imperative languages.

This suggest that it's difficult to reason about the code. That's the last thing I want.
