I don't know if it's possible > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/3742

You might want to play with HiDPi of your operating system (that would be my way to go)
Or install tools for it (on Linux by default we got some "Universal Access" tools, strong contrast, magnifiers, bigger letters, bigger everything...) I don't know for Windows/mac

You can change the size of the pointer within Windows itself,
which will show up only for you and not during recording.
Some screen recording applications allow you to highlight the cursor while you record.
