the unstripped version for "symbolication" of user submitted crash

Yep, that will work. You will only get function names not line numbers, though. It's also in the category of "not ideal" stopgap solutions - you should only need to keep the dSYM file for a release build. And unlike stabs, the majority of the debug information is in the object files and I'd hate to see someone get confused and keep their unstripped release binary and not their dSYM file. The unstripped release binary is useful for little more than function- level symbolication without its associated object files in place.
