In EVERY other situation, there would be a minimum of 3 servers.

Not exactly...
License #1: local development server
License #2: the server
use a /dev/ partition that is IP and/or password restricted for the staging server, for public testing prior to going live.
And considering most pro developers have insanely fast broadband, the local development server isn't really needed anymore. I do ALL of my development on the primary server in a locked down, IP restricted partition. It doesn't get indexed. It's a realtime indicator if the code is bloated.
There are 101 reasons why you SHOULD develop on an internet connected server and not a local machine.
So although your concerns about timely replies to your emails are valid, your workflow is not the only way a professional may work. There are other workflows that could possibly be superior to yours. I only need a single site license when developing most sites.
Just saying.
I hope you get your issues resolved with Jon. You do NOT want to turn a store on to the web without CDSEO active.
