So what's the weirdest thing you thought you'd only use in the lab, that
you ended up using in production?

Some of my recent ones:

PBR through a GRE tunnel (to get around a default routing problem)

udp-small-servers (to stress-test a circuit with UDP echoes before the
router had anything else connected to it)

I've also used all kinds of routing manipulation tools (AD, route
filters, etc etc) but I don't really consider those to be particularly
exotic.
