do you publish your own helm chart for your internal services and use it in every environment? if so, you could try to use helmfile within the service's repo itself and store values in a helm/$env directory. then enhance your ci to deploy to dev after the merge/image build phase directly. to try and cut out what sounds like a "deployment/config repo" step you have in the middle that's making everything a pain.
We use https://github.com/metalbear-co/mirrord to run changes in the context of the cloud environment without actually deploying thus eliminating most of the testing/debugging time
