How inefficient is it to get the stack trace for an exception? I know it’s costly, but how costly? Should they definitely not be used in production environment?

In a production environment, it’s helpful to log the stack trace so the user can find it when they contact tech support. Printing stack trace in place of an understandable (by the typical user) message should be avoided.
You shouldn’t be concerned with the efficiency of exceptional blocks of code. Error recovery is the most important thing here.
