I believe you’re right, because I’m using the below code and not having to do any weird math like that.

//Add a row with the user's info as an admin to the Staff repeater field
			//There are no rows yet, so we update the value of the repeater field to 1 to make a new row
			//The value of the repeater field is simply a number representing the number of existing row
			//If ACF ever changes the value of the repeater field in the database, this will need adjusting
			if (get_post_meta($post_id, 'choose_tps_members')) {
				$existingRows = get_post_meta($post_id, 'choose_tps_members', true);
				if (have_rows('choose_tps_members', $post_id)) {
						$selectedMembers = array();
					while(have_rows('choose_tps_members', $post_id)) {
						the_row();
						$selectedMembers[] = get_sub_field('choose_member'); //user array
					}
				}
				
			}
			//Add a row to the repeater
			update_post_meta($post_id, 'choose_tps_members', $existingRows+1);
			
			//Update repeater row we just created with the Creator's info
			$setUser = get_user_by('id',$creator);
			$row = array(
				'choose_member'	=> $setUser, //Creator
				'make_admin'	=> array('Admin'), //Check the "make admin" box
			);
			//Update the repeater row
			update_row( 'choose_tps_members', $existingRows+1, $row, $post_id );
			
			//Once all fields validate, we can finally publish it
			wp_update_post(array('ID'=>$post_id, 'post_status'=>'publish'));
