Thanks for the input Jonathon. While the code example you provided caused some issues (including an infinite loop when I added the post_id to the have_rows() function!), the field key suggestion was instrumental in solving it. What does work is this:

if (false == update_sub_field(
    array('repeater_key', 1, 'sub_field_name'), 
    $value, 
    $postId
)) {
    update_field(
       'repeater_key', 
        array(
            array('sub_field_name' => $value)
        ), 
        $postId
    );
}

The difference is using the repeater’s key instead of name in the update functions.
