I've meanwhile also noticed that the default compiler flags that CMake
uses include the debug information in the dll itself (dll size is

in the dll).

I am not entirely sure what you mean but CMake's default flags for the Visual Studio compiler when building "Debug" or "RelWithDebInfo" use /Zi (debug information in external pdb) rather than /Z7 (embedded debug information; no pdb is generated).

Maybe your project replaces the default flags?

No Z7 or Zi anywhere in the CMake files and the generated makefiles include /Zi. So I don't know why the dll's would be bigger and generate proper backtrace information when analyzing a dump file but so it is and thats fine with me for now.
