Something I've noticed is that I am having to look at production systems manually to do debugging alongside the logs which just made me wonder how other people were doing it

In my experience logs are rarely enough for browser automation issues.

I usually end up reproducing the actual session manually because timing/state problems often don’t show up clearly in logs.

1. the logs hopefully tell you where to look 2. the logs hopefully give you enough context to construct a physical test (ie, replicate) 3. the physical test hopefully gives enough context to write an automated test 4. we write the automated test, submit to staging, do the physical test again 5. PROFIT!
