Jamf School & Google Chrome
I used to use something like the above script but switched to using Installomator for all apps we use that it supports. It can do the initial install as a push or from Self Service, and then you can set it up to patch software as well. https://github.com/Installomator/Installomator

Which policies, profiles, scripts, apps and packages do you consider must-have?
If you want to make things easy for your users and yourself, take a look at Installomator. It'll unlock a lot of nice workflows for your users, since you could put a specific title's install action available in Self Service and thats always gonna be easier than trying to track down the vendor's URL and finding the right download. It also means you don't have to repackage anything.

Looks like you’re trying to update/work with version 4 but the installomator version is still on version 3. I’d suggest using build a label for musescore4

Is there a way to have different Jamf Enrollment Profiles?
If they are running macOS 11+ and they are admins (which i assume they are) i would get them enrolled, and make a swiftDialog - https://github.com/bartreardon/swiftDialog prompt that is pushed repeatedly until they install it. Track who has not yet installed it and pester their managers if they dont, but this will require buy in at every level or they will just ignore you. good luck.

Current situation DEPNotify
It still works but you may find better options using Swift Dialog going forward - Dan Snelson has been doing quite a bit with it.

Self service
I was making a lot of my packages with Composer, so very similar. I’m currently looking into updating my Installomator scripts to start leveraging the new swiftDialog integration - looks very clean.
