From personal experience, notarization hasn't really caused any friction in my dev process for Mimestream. The upload + server response usually only takes about a minute. Yeah, it's another thing to learn, but the process is pretty well-integrated into Xcode, and if you're building via script then it seems well-supported?

On the other hand, code signing is perennially confusing, and I wish the documentation was better.
