> Deeplinking from web into the app is hard

This is exactly whay I was getting at before. Please stop fixating on the deferred form of deep links. The play store need not even be involved for deep linking to an already installed app.

The mobile_guide instructions are where most people bail out.

"Yeah, no. This is too complicated." is the response when they see

"Install an app, then click on a check box that changes the UI, then enter https://foo.bar:8448, then register".

That's a massive turn off before your app is even installed. A flow of "Install this app, then return to this web page" is significantly easier. Or if/when branded builds of Riot are possible, it becomes "Install this app."
