I 100% agree with you that Cranelift is a big deal (Last year I had to change my desktop CPU just to be able to build, in a reasonable amount of time in debug mode, the Rust project I'm working on − ok my CPU was still a Core 2 Duo at this point).
Even for things where debug mode is too slow, Cranelift could be a game changer since it promises to produce more performant binaries than LLVM in debug mode (Idk if it will be fast enough for you use-cases though).
I just wanted to point out that Cranelift won't solve the compile-time issue all by itself.
