I dearly wish that I could use rr and Pernosco, but I do graphics work and GPUs don't work with fancy debuggers. The state of GPU debugging is even more dire than CPU debugging.

A debugger like this (sort of) already exists for GPU work (but for Metal).

Have you tried NVIDIA NSight Graphics ? If you're on NVIDIA hardware this really works quite nicely and supports OpenGL, DX and Vulkan.
