At my first (very small, research-group) employer, I was the one to introduce source control. Another company I saw ~4 years ago had Git, but no one knew how to use it adequately so "lost code" was still a regular event. I haven't seen it since, though; lots of people frightened by and badly misusing Git, but they mostly manage to keep code histories intact.
Having no testing/staging environments remains pretty common, along with its cousin "production work happens on staging". Partnering with not-primarily-software companies and asking about staging infrastructure, you har that regularly. And yeah, SFTP/SCP/SSH is a standard push-and-deploy approach in places where that happens.
