Thank you for all the explanations on how to use regtest to reproduce
the example scenarios.
It seems like a private mode wouldn't be particularly helpful for
testing so I won't create a pull request and will just work on the
private chains separately from bitcoind.
Going back to chainparam modes

Not necessarily. Running a private server involves listening to the p2p
network for incoming transactions, performing validation on receipt and
organizing a mempool, performing transaction selection, and relaying
blocks to auditors - none of which is tested in a reindex.
A reindex would give you a

You can just reindex/replay the chain. It's been done many times.

There's no difference, the -timedtest mode does exactly that. But
automatically instead of having to manually ask for a new block every

I'd say not very considering you have regression testing mode.

How is this different from just running in -regtest mode and asking the
nodes to generate a block after 1 or 2 seconds?

I'm implementing a new testing mode that produces blocks
periodically. You can get what I have so far here:

It depends on pull request #3824 with some improvements on
CChainParams, but after that the changes required to add this new
mode are very small
