> `panic = "abort"` shakes a lot of code off by making the final executable unable to print a nice stack trace (even without symbols) and instead immediately traps/abort()-s.

I believe it does print backtraces then terminate, since the backtrace is printed via panic hooks, which happen before the actual unwinding.

Is the backtrace performed by the OS and that's why it still works? And the debug info needs to still be provided, just not an unwinding mechanism?
