The performance is abysmal either way I do it.
I've tried both append and publish. I use a view swap technique to keep the app running when the layers are updated.
Here is the script that handles the initial section of the publish. It either uploads the only gdb and publishes it, or it uploads the intial empty point feature layer gdb, and then the data gdb and publishes the empty feature layer. This finishes in about a minute for the empty case.
The feature clas sis also not set up for editor tracking as it is uneditable.
