Sideloading the Netflix APK won't work. The electronic serial number is detected by the app and the device is blocked by Netflix on the server level.
The only method that does work is the Kodi one, or so I am led to believe.

There are some older netflix apk's like v3 that doesn't do the serial check but you will need to use a mouse to navigate as it wasn't designed for ATV, that said it won't install if the previous version of Netflix isn't removed.

I may be wrong but I believe its being pushed out in a phased approach. I will update this post tomorrow once I get clarification from the team.

Haven't seen a lot of the Lit Boxes for sale, anywhere.
Netflix probably isn't such a big issue.
Personally, being Afrikaans, I would go for Showmax if I had to pay for something, and just sideload something like Cinema HD, or even do Stremio with add-ons, and not the whole Kodi thing.
Will do Kodi for DstvNow though for certain reasons if needed.

If anyone has a LIT that they want to get rid of for a few hundred bucks I am interested. Want it just for Plex.

Be aware that your unit will be reset to factory.

@killerbyte - previous OTA updates have semi-bricked my LIT box, something to do with my TV set being too old to cope with the default resolution after the update. Last time I had to send the box up to you guys to sort it.
1. Will the upcoming pushed update cause the same problem?
2. Can I safely ignore/avoid the upcoming pushed update?

You would likely have the same issue.
You can ignore this update, just be aware that Netflix will remain installed on your box.
