That would work.
As well as setting it as a environment variable for the CLI:

 # run the TYPO3 Flow CLI commands in production context
 FLOW_CONTEXT=Production ./flow help

 # In your Apache configuration, you usually use:
 SetEnv FLOW_CONTEXT Production

... from the official docs:
http://docs.typo3.org/flow/TYPO3FlowDocumentation/TheDefinitiveGuide/PartIII/Bootstrapping.html#the-typo3-flow-application-context

You can also use mod_rewrite rules in your htaccess file:
# Rules to set ApplicationContext based on hostname
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dev\.example\.com$
#RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=FLOW_CONTEXT:Development]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^staging\.example\.com$
#RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=FLOW_CONTEXT:Production/Staging]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
#RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=FLOW_CONTEXT:Production]

AFAIK in development contexts, exceptions are visible in the Neos views.

API to get current context in Flow:
\TYPO3\FLOW3\Object\ObjectManagerInterface::getContext()

For example the Package Management module controller assigns the context
to the view using:
$this->view->assignMultiple(array(
(...)
  'isDevelopmentContext' =>
$this->objectManager->getContext()->isDevelopment()
));

which therefore supports the following condition in the Fluid Template
of the Package Management module:
<f:if condition="{isDevelopmentContext}">...</f:if>

But I don't know how to access the context in ts2.
