I got some data. It is about 10% increase size with -g:
product build, no -g for AOT modules

but maybe jlink is able to strip the debug info from java classes now? In that

Yes, it can, `jlink --strip-debug` (or `-G`). A good test would be to build
with `javac -g` and then strip the debug information when generating the JRE
image to see that it comes out at around the
same size as the current build.
