I met the same problems when trying to publish an app with purchasable subscriptions on the store. Rejected at first, then I removed all mentions of the subscription in the app and after pointing this out to the review team, it got approved. The whole experience left me very frustrated.

Recently I pulled the app off the store altogether because I can't be asked to deal with this things on every update.

I feel like a viable alternative would be to push for, and educate the end users about progressive web apps. But then again, that might just be about moving the monopoly from the app stores to the browser vendors, as in the end it's them who have the last word about PWA compatibility. If I'm not wrong lately Safari already made some changes to the storage policy that undermines PWA capabilities.
