Which leads me to the more general question of: enable CR on a production server, yes or no?
Not on production. Only for testing.
I'm not sure. Running production environments without CR enabled means you're running without current security updates for quite some time. Seems a bad and risky idea to me.
Like most things in the world, there is no single answer which will satisfy all the different demands that all the environments have. You have to weigh what each environment needs in terms of confidentiality, availability, and integrity (or whatever 3 or 4 letter acronym your site uses) then answer if it is a good idea or not. If you need high availability, then you are going to set things up where testing is done first then roll out of updates is done. If you need high confidentiality, you may push out security updates more and if you need high integrity, well you probably make the waterfall model look simple in what you have to do to make sure anything changes anywhere.
