Numbered databases are (de facto) deprecated. Run separate processes, instead.
(Redis is single-threaded, anyways. You probably don't want to run production and staging on the same Redis process.)

Every other database on the planet has database names pretty much.
I LOVE Redis but this is just a bonkers limitation IMHO...
And in a world that increasingly moves to containerization you should really look into adding automation to your admin workflow (e.g. ansible). 'port' and 'startup script' should become 'service' and 'template' in your mind.
That's just what happens when you live with production systems. Not every service in the world gives you a dev/staging/production server with "curl github.com/my-bespoke-database/install-and-run.sh"
The last place I worked had 60 physical mysql servers. We had to deal with ports and servers and startup scripts quite a bit.
