The fastest way for testing Dynamic Type while developing, and to quickly see how your app's UI flows, is by using the "option + cmd + plus/minus" to increase/decrease the text size in your simulator.

Full Keyboard Access can be tested in the simulator! So convenient! You can enable it from Accessibility's settings in the simulator. And from there, you can navigate your app by just using your computer's keyboard.
You should really try to support Dynamic Type. If you can’t for some reason, and you want to fall back to the Large Content Viewer, you can do so. I’d limit it to “sticky” bars. Maybe you have a custom tab bar, navigation bar, or similar? Check the UILargeContentViewerItem protocol. Most UIKit components conform to it already. You'll just need to set showsLargeContentViewer to true and add a UILargeContentViewerInteraction to your component. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uilargecontentvieweritem
An alternative layout for large font sizes can be provided with Auto Layout by having three sets of constraints (common, default constraints, and alternative constraints) and activate/deactivate them depending on the content size category.
