Vulkan compute is not really designed or intended to be a CUDA competitor, its feature set is much more restricted, and Vulkan host side code is much more verbose than CUDA. OpenCL or SYCL are much closer in features to CUDA. I found that when using SYCL on Nvidia, debugging symbols etc can be passed through and you can use tools like NSight Compute to profile it as if it were CUDA.
