More FAQs in Why should development and production use separate storage buckets?
No. Routine development should use credentials scoped to its own storage. Keep production access restricted to the people and systems that actually operate the live service.
Gallery records contain object references and ownership information. Mixing a development database with production storage can create broken links or expose real objects to test operations.
