My main issue with this is that it makes testing/debugging of certain classes of bugs very tedious.

The only way to reliably simulate what happens on a typical user machine (with SIP enabled) is to start with SIP enabled, run a test scenario that involves these permissions, then reboot and disable SIP, clear the permissions that changed, then reboot and enable SIP again before running the test scenario again.

You might consider using a VM? I discovered recently that VMWare is very good at Virtualizing Mac OS guests (from a Mac OS host)
