Write yourself some custom tooling to meet your needs. This is absolutely necessary & if packages are similar this can reduce updating to just running a script for 15 minutes. We in the end had multiple tools doing the PKGUBILD creation, updating & software out of date check work for us, especially the last one is important as impatient user may mislead you. Additionally to those general python scripts, I had a dir with lots of zsh & bash scripts for manual one-time changes I needed to apply to hundreds of packages. https://github.com/ros-arch/ros-aur-helpers https://github.com/ros-arch/arch_ros_package_monitor https://github.com/ros-arch/ros-build-tools

Get a CI to check if pkg build in clean environments. So many users will falsely report broken packages while they simply ran makepkg in their arch installation & the build system pulls crap from it into the build process & it fails despite your pkg being fine. It's a shame every AUR helper except aurutils still doesn't support building in clean chroots, but you can't change that. I build https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd for that, which end the end served a custom repo easing the installation for users, too. There are plenty alternatives to my SW out there, too.
Another cool tools is aurpublish. This allows you to simply have one git repo that has your PKGBUILDs and you can update them to the aur with a simple `aurpublish . I use this for my personal PKGBUILDS: https://github.com/acxz/pkgbuilds and for smaller projects with less than 30ish packages like https://github.com/acxz/gazebo-arch/ and https://github.com/rocm-arch/rocm-arch/. and of course for projects that have larger amount of PKGBUILDS just mirroring them int their own github organization like ros-noetic is the way to go.

Oh yeah and another tool that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is nvchecker: https://github.com/lilydjwg/nvchecker
