I'd be happy with a separate decorator in the standard library for adding these
methods. Not so sure about a third-party module, the added value is probably
not high enough to justify an extra dependency (assuming one is aware it exists
in the first place).

This doesn't seem an unreasonable assumption to me. If I'm using a dataclass, I
probably care enough about its member types to bother declaring them and I
wouldn't mind if a particular method expects that the members actually match
the types. This behaviour would be clearly documented.
Alternatively, if we go with a separate decorator, whether this assumption
holds could be a parameter, something like:
def add_asdict(cls, name='asdict', strict=True)
