The “debug” term in that setup was quite ambiguous however and the source of a lot of confusion, as described in godot-proposals#3371.

Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. Invoking any-hit shader, typically for performing alpha testing, for non-opaque triangles interrupts hardware intersection search. Consider alpha testing instead of blending. Do this whenever possible.
