This sounds nice until you have to debug a crazy error that only happens in production.

Wouldn't this represent 0.1% of your usage? Meanwhile the thinking portion is 99% of the job and the act of using the UI to enact the changes on any editor is the other 1%.

Making 1% of 1/10 of 1% more effecient seems like a curious optimization.

Honestly, if you have to hop on production to debug a crazy error, you have two bugs. The infrastructure being so different on production compared to development or local is a fixable issue. As are any other differences between production and local that make difficult to debug in these special cases. It takes a long time. It's a substantial effort. But it is worth while.
