That's very interesting. Thank you for sharing this feedback. This could be the thinking of many companies as well.
Regarding the product solving a real pain, I agree. Aesthetics are overlooked if the need is there.
On the other hand, wouldn't you want to optimize this part of your funnel? Maybe even see if there's a problem between signups and conversions? You'd want your users to get value from your product as soon as possible, and a good onboarding truly helps (see courier.com, for example).
I'm pretty surprised that your aversion to another dependency outweighs the possible benefits of having a good onboarding flow.
