I agree, there could be some use cases for debuginfod in lld, though it's probably not as natural target as (say) lldb.
Now that it's clear that lld does not use Symbolize, and therefore lld does not use Debuginfod, I propose llvm-dev as more appropriate place to discuss which tools should (or should not) use debuginfod in the future.
IIRC this is the most recent reply to the debuginfod RFC: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-October/153101.html
That would be a good place to follow up.
Thanks!
