I doubt that Apple will let Loom-based games into the App Store if live reload is enabled; my understanding is that scripting languages are only acceptable if all code is bundled and not loaded remotely. (As a web guy, the concept of waiting days to push a fix is crazy, but it's their Garden.)

All in all, this looks like a good toolset, particularly for those techie/creative hybrids who liked making games in Flash.

Loom's live reload is mostly for development purposes. You could try using it in deployed games but obviously it presents issues (for instance with Apple). Some game studios do ship bytecode on the fly to their iOS games, but they understand the risks they are taking...
