I've been running into performance problems with IntelliJ (maybe it's the Kotlin plugin, I wouldn't know how to tell the difference) when working with certain Kotlin code (complex generics and files with lots of methods seem to do the trick). How can I debug this enough so that I can open a bug report? Are there tools to profile IntelliJ?

I had tried that but I don't see a "Start CPU Usage Profiling" option after restarting.

Have you installed the Performance Testing plugin as mention on this page under "The CPU usage is high or IDE is slow -> 2019.2 and above"? By the way, you can get IDEA 2019.2 EAP here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/

Yes, I checked that the plugin is installed. IntelliJ might be lagging so much that enabling profiling does not work. Other features I would have thought are unrelated also stop working, so I wouldn't be surprised.
