Yeah, there was a multiple dev long effort to build "complete" solution but I did what you described to satisfy impatient stakeholders. Since then the fancy solution is incomplete and mothballed while the simple deployment has been running ever since.
The next value add was consolidating data in a db with web ui so relevant non-devs can view and help add to it + easily integrate different data sources with automatic validation. I wish their was a nice open source thing here you could spin up without much effort. There's middle ground between complex/paid full solution that can scale to huge data sets and integrate with turking etc and emailing csvs or sharing google sheets links around.
