Do you mean this in general or for Stripe? For the former, you have to run some tests on production after initial setup and major changes surely? API keys could be wrong for a start and a lot of web services don't give you a programmatic way to sync settings between environments.

If you want to do some sanity checking in prod to rule out any issue with the test environment setup... Why would you want to set up a special fake test card in prod?

Either don't do it, or have everything about it real. e.g. a canary purchase test & then a refund flow test. Yes there's a fee, but there's a fee when you do it for real. Hopefully you have many more real transactions.
