I've never been in a shop where programs were (re)compiled into production. Once a program is compiled and tested, it's copied into production.
Whatever risk might be incurred by moving a program into a down-level environment, the risk of recompiling is surely greater. Now if there's a problem, it's a nightmare to sort out change in environment from change in compiled module, which could be caused by any number of manual slip-ups. LE is very good at downward compatibility. I'll trust that over procedural vagaries any day. . .

Once the package is released to production, it typically will do copies. It does not usually do ReCompiles to move to a production environment.
