You can try `debug-on-event'.

There's jit-lock-debug-mode but it doesn't disable inhibit-quit.
So you'll need to additionally use

   (advice-add 'jit-lock--debug-fontify :around
     (lambda (fun &rest args)
       (with-local-quit (apply fun args))))

Of course sometimes this doesn't work because jit-lock-debug-mode
changes the way things are executed and the bug may not manifest itself
any more, but it's worth a try.

Another source of info is to

  M-x trace-function RET org-adaptive-fill-function RET
  M-x trace-function RET org-element-at-point RET
  M-x trace-function RET org-element--cache-sync RET
  M-x trace-function RET org-element--cache-process-request RET

Then reproduce the hang, then break the hang somehow (maybe with the
jit-lock-debug hack above, or maybe with debug-on-event, or with C-g C-g
C-g, ...), then look at the *trace..* buffer.
