Since when does refresh only work in debug mode? Admittedly we are still on 
Zope 2.7.x, but it works in non-debug mode for me.

When I need to update skin folders on our production server then I do that 
by forcing the skin product to refresh. For other products I restart the 
servers, but as Reinoud points out if you have multiple ZEO clients that 
doesn't result in any downtime (we currently have 6 ZEO clients) although 
it will result in a slower response for the first few hits after the 
restart.
