You don't need a dedicated test server for that. Access to SA is
sufficient. You *do* however need some sort of testing your rules before
pushing them live. Can't outsource that to us.

Creative. ;) I didn't try it, but I guess that should work. Anyway...

This is wrong.

This simple rule already does exactly what you want. SA does *not* use
the rule's scores when adding. See the Conf docs on meta rules.
You can verify this easily yourself (output snipped).
$ echo -e "\n" | spamassassin --cf="meta FOO (MISSING_MID + MISSING_DATE > 1)"
* 0.0 MISSING_MID Missing Message-Id: header
* 0.0 MISSING_DATE Missing Date: header
* 1.0 FOO FOO
Note though, that meta and eval rules in your expression *might* have a
value other than 0 or 1. I believe, however, that eval rules generally
do return a boolean value. Also, meta rules are most likely coded to
return a boolean value, too. (Like your rule does, e.g.)
And of course, tflags multiple rules will return the number they hit.
Other than these caveats, in that expression above, any rule will indeed
evaluate to a boolean value. *Not* the rule's score, in no case.
Actually looking at other folks rules might proof enlightening, too.
Like this example, that does what you are asking for.
$ grep '^meta DIGEST_MULTIPLE' 20_net_tests.cf
meta DIGEST_MULTIPLE RAZOR2_CHECK + DCC_CHECK + PYZOR_CHECK > 1
