Everyone has a dev system, some people also have a separate production system with proper security controls.

I think I am one of the laziest people around and even I can't imagine doing this. The first thing that got me was the part about having sensitive data. If you're doing this, how sensitive could it really be?

I can't believe that anybody would give an LLM access to production. Always always always assume that your LLM will destroy your production if given the possibility. In other words, always assume the gun is loaded.
