What Stripe workflow was this? Or was it specific to your codebase?

Stripe is the best I've used, but it has a ton of issues to this day:

    A) Account settings are specified separately in prod / staging
    B) Differences between those environments are not automatically reported in a useful way
    C) Only one staging env per customer. Want to check what a new setting will do? Every developer is getting that setting turned on.

Stripe Sandboxes[1] aim to solve this problem!

(Disclaimer: I work for Stripe but not on this feature)

"up to six" is definitely an improvement, but still a long way from "ephemeral test environments on demand".
