Well, moving sensitive data or PII to development environment for any developer eyeballs to see doesn't sound good and may introduce trouble if data leaked. Development env (where random npm dev scripts get run or whatever) doesn't usually get protected as good as production.

Anyways, if you are single or handful developers where everyone get access to prod, you may not care. Still, data hygiene and risk mitigation shouldn't be overlooked.

Yeah, we have a shared QA environment which gets a fair amount of data populated in it, and this is what I was actually syncing in this case. If syncing prod data then I'd definitely want to have very thorough filtering. But then at that point I'm not sure I'd trust this tool!
