There are many strategies for maintaining test environments for that kind of thing. Read-only replicas, sampling datasets for smaller replicas, etc. Plenty of organizations do it, so it's not really an excuse, imo.

No I know. But it was "good enough" for the company and we never had any serious issues working that way either. If someone pushed a faulty commit, we just reverted it and reloaded the data from the source system.

A lot of companies have kind of bad solutions for this sort of stuff, but it's not talked about and nobody is proud of it. But it keeps the environments simple to work with.
