user47827: Do you need to configure Bitcoin Core with --enable-debug to be able to obtain detailed debug logs when running bitcoind with -debug=category?

user47827: No they are orthogonal. --enable-debug creates unoptimized binaries which are more usable when you're trying to attach a debugger (e.g. gdb, lldb). It is unrelated to debug output. Debug output is controlled at runtime using -debug=X flags.
Thanks to the individuals who answered this on IRC.
