Bottom line is without another way into the zero2w it's going to be (almost) impossible to debug. You could use WiFi but that can cause confusion instead of helping (The pi/USB host can be reached by two separate routes) so my preferred tool is a UART connection. Either to another Pi or via the 3.3V end of a suitable USB to 3.3v TTL UART adapter.
As for ifconfig, its default behaviour is to only return interfaces that are configured and up. TryIf the USB host is running Linux, you may find the output from lsusb to be informative too.
