IP whitelist would make sending the URL to the customer harder since I'd need to figure out their IP ranges. Having credentials offers better granularity for access control.

The problem with deploying to the test enviroment is not the work it takes, thats something we have to do anyway. The benefit with review apps is having a version of each branch live any time. And I got to build this stuff, which was fun.

Do we require a setup as powerful as this? I don't think so. Was it fun and educational to build it? For sure!
