Unfortunately, removal of PIIs also means less data/cues for hard-to-diagnose bugs (it can even range to CPU bugs like [1]). For Firefox, potentially PII-containing memory dumps are still sent to the server, but they're only viewable by authorized personnel [2].

There are also rule-based PII removal methods as used by Sentry minidump processing and described at [3].
