Shucks!

You naturally need backups and it's nice to have a Dev server when 
applying those patches but that's about as far as I'd go running two 
servers.  If the workflow is good enough, having both a staging and 
production server seems like overkill -- especially if it's becoming a 
pain in the butt.

Of course, that's just how I'm used to running stuff (Drupal).  Other 
people with different content needs might think differently.
