What do you mean by supplying nifi processors to different environments? Do you mean you want to deploy new versions of custom processors that someone could configure in the nifi UI?
And/or do you mean you want to deploy updates flow definitions that have been defined in one environment and you want to promote to another? We've achieved this kind of thing in kubernetes using the apache/nifi docker image (securely clustered) as a statefulset. We have custom processors that we build and publish to a (private) maven repository (Artifactory in this case). Our nifi instances are configured using a set of scripts that use a mix of nifi toolkit and nipyapi library to do this such as global configuration, controller services, reporting tasks, parameter contexts and flow definitions (from registry). Custom processors and pulled from the maven repository into the nifi instances extensions/ directories (so they're auto-loaded for use in the UI). We do use nifi registry (I note you say you don't want to) - again it's deployed via a ci/cd pipeline and configured with a set of scripts in the same way as nifi itself. We use the git flow persistence so our flows are persisted outside of kubernetes and shared between environments. This way, we use our custom processors in dev to author our flows, which are committed to registry. We then deploy the flows to a new environment through our registry and nifi pipelines. If you really don't want to use registry as well, I'd imagine you could use the older templates & variable registry approaches. As a general note, nifi is all driven via a restful api, so everything you'd like to do is possible using a script.
