We have just soft launched our ios app and have gained a few paying customers.

The only downside is that apple payouts for purchases in Oct are scheduled for December.

I get that they have a large control on mobile market but this just seems outrageous for startups.

Anyone else experienced this and have any work arounds. I have been seeing quite a few apps use onboarding funnels hosted on their website which tied to stripe payments. I am guessing they then use this to grant paid access on the app bypassing apple.

Is this the only way?

Yeah, Apple payouts are slow and sometimes messy. It sucks.

Dude, it's only a one time thing. I only had to wait two months one time way back in 2011. Ever since 2011 I've been paid every month ever since then.
