process.env.DFX_NETWORK only has 2 values atm as far as I know: ic and local and I wouldn’t mess with it too much cause other libraries work based on that assumption.
You can import actors using the “default” syntax even if they are actor classes, you just need to remove the init arguments from the candid file. You can create two did files, one public and one private one and then use a script to point to the public one, after you deployed the canister with the init arguments.

Cool I didn’t know you could do that, but I really wish such a basic task wouldn’t require all these workarounds which one must first somehow discover by reading a thread and come with some amount of mental overhead, like in this case one would have to remember about the “hack” and update the private candid file everytime there are changes to the interface, not a problem if you work with a ledger, but if you interoperate with many canisters and they also happen to be updated often if gets annoying real quick.
