The app store updates aren't really THAT big of a problem with Apple. I mean it isn't pleasant for sure. But you can use TestFlight or something while still in beta. I'm not sure that will scale to product/market fit but it will scale enough to give you good engagement metrics.

I've found testflight to be an absolute UX disaster for non-geeky users.

We've been using TestFlight to distribute new builds to multiple clients around the world, distributed to their user's iPads with a notification through mail, during their user acceptance testing phase and it just works great! None of our users complained about Test Flight's UI for sure!

We found it ok when a user only had one app they were testing on only one device. Once devices and apps multiply then good luck.
