Answer 1

After a lot of digging between trying to provide a minimal reproducible example, trying to update all my packages or reinstalling them, and simply digging through all my files and try to find what was wrong, I managed to fix the issue.

I essentially re-upgraded my app to angular 8 as if I was using angular 7 (even tho I was supposedly already using angular 8) using the commands ng update @angular/cli --from 7 --to 8 --migrate-only ng update @angular/core --from 7 --to 8 --migrate-only as mentionned in this thread

This updated all the old syntax of lazy loading to the new one automatically and on building/serving I could finally see all the chunks for each module

Given that it was fixed with these commands, I believe the issue was with packages/dependencies somewhere.
