You just need to enable ssh, which is trivial. You do need a terminal to
do that, but no developer mode. I cannot run "sudo apt-get update"
manually because I don't wish to remount read-write. I'm running my
phone in production and want to file bugs for problems as such.

The fraction of users who are prepared to file bugs are useful because
they cause improvements for all users. Please don't cause a fix for this
to be delayed just because it could be done better but leaving it broken
in the meantime. If the fix is workable, we should fix it now.
