I managed to get a large Adwaita cursor in chrome by creating a
${HOME}/.icons/default/index.theme file containing
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Adwaita
and then
export XCURSOR_PATH=${HOME}/.icons:/usr/local/share/icons
export XCURSOR_SIZE=128
(the last version is huge for debugging purposes)
Apparently there's something broken in the index.theme provided by
Adwaita or in the way chrome is parsing it...
$HOME/.icons is properly unveiled in chrome.main.
