You can easily add a production state under the "Settings" window. Look for the "State Conversions" section and add yours in the appropriate place. I added one like so: "No-production-impact:450" between Pre-Production and Test.
I use this state for servers that are in production but don't impact production if they blow up (I also use Test and Dev., etc. as appropriate). I then create alerting rules based on a production state of "Production" to weed out all the non-production stuff that I don't want on-call staff getting paged on. As to whether it's reasonable or not, it was for me. I did it many months and versions ago and I've not had any problem with it.
