With a little help from my AI friend and after holding their hand a bit, I got this: 

package Test::Utils::Dump::Load;
use v5.10;     

use strict;
use warnings;
use Exporter 'import';

our @EXPORT = qw(d d0 d1 dd di);

my $debug = $ENV{MYMOD_DEBUG_LEVEL};

sub d  { _load_and_call('d',  @_) if $debug }
sub d0 { _load_and_call('d0', @_) if $debug }
sub d1 { _load_and_call('d1', @_) if $debug }
sub dd { _load_and_call('dd', @_) if $debug }
sub di { _load_and_call('di', @_) if $debug }

sub _load_and_call {
    my $sub_name = shift;
    
    state $imported = 0; 

    if (!$imported) {
        require Test::Utils::Dump;
        Test::Utils::Dump->import(qw(d d0 d1 dd di));
        $imported = 1; 
    }

    no strict 'refs'; ## no critic 
    &{"Test::Utils::Dump::$sub_name"}(@_);
}

1;

So now in my module with debug code I can just add this one line: 

use Test::Utils::Dump::Load;
