Why doesn’t such a mode exist yet? Where it doesn’t cost any stamina but you don’t get any rewards. Let people test stuff out, just set up any enemy units you want and battle.
I find myself bored of doing literally nothing in this game, as all my energy goes toward farming gear and events take 30 seconds to complete.

As all fights are on the client and nothing on the server, this can be done.
How simple or hard it can be, it's on an complete other side.
"But can we monetize it?"
It would be great to have, but CG isn't going to do it unless they can figure out how to charge us for it.
I think you nailed it at the end there - winning GAC is fun. It's harder to win when you only get to practice on game day. I don't want to try weird team comps when my crystal income is riding on it - that's why .gg only ever has the same few counters represented for any given team. People use the same thing over and over again because it's been tested and it works. I can't test GAC omis anywhere except for GAC - same with TW. Similarly, I can only 'test' datacrons in squad arena where I have limited control over what team I might be facing. Why would I experiment and risk a loss in GAC or TW?
Experimenting is fun, and yet it's discouraged on penalty of a loss. No one wants to be the person that tried a weird counter and let the guild down in TW, or tried a weird counter and it cost them 500+ crystals in GAC. Without a sandbox mode, innovation is squelched and we all end up following the herd and doing the same thing all the time because it's safe.
Yes, "they".
