I don't even think "right now" fixes necessarily indicate a problem in development approach. Sometimes unexpected things happen and you need a way to fix them quickly, without being bogged down by infrastructure.

A great example of this is using a production repl. It even served Nasa well (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17253459/what-exactly-ha...). Having to change your system on-the-fly is not always an indication of a poorly developed or managed system.
