executable shrinks by over 30% with this change.

Does this variable get used by default? I saw this here and just ignored it as I thought it would only be invoked if I asked for a DEBUG build from a level above. If we are always adding DEBUG_FLAGS to our compiles perhaps it should be called something else?
I think we should probably keep this, since by default EDK2 DEBUG builds are built with optimization enabled, which obviously makes debugging via gdb etc. irritating/difficult.
I always have to add -O0 to let me single step through the firmware.
I'm not sure what you mean, and I don't understand the connection between EDK2 and the bhyve build. Are you requesting that we always set -O0, even in release builds? Or do you want to leave this line commented out?
Yes, see bsd.prog.mk:
.if defined(DEBUG_FLAGS) CFLAGS+=${DEBUG_FLAGS} CXXFLAGS+=${DEBUG_FLAGS} ... .endif

Sorry, wrong context. I was thinking of the uefi-edk2-bhyve port, which builds EDK2. This is different.
