Stricttly speaking, in porn there can only ever be interruptions, not cliffhangers. Sex is a known script which only knows one direction, escalation of practices, attitudes, corruption etc. A porn story is one big movement in one direction and it can only be interrupted, stopped, delayed etc. (even reversion is not possible you can't go back on sex, once it happened). As a narrative device interruption can only have the function of a tease, not of a suspense. Suspense requires an open question: what could happen? Interruption doesn't drive curisosity, but denial and frustration which is only arousing up to a certain degree and demands release. Generally people don't want to be interrupted during sex or watching sex (or it's a fetish). Therefore it gets annoying very fast. So it has to be used cautiously by devs. Sometimes I think they take porn to seriously in this sense - thinking it is a detective or mysery novel or a soap opera, and not seriously enough in another sense - you deal with people who want to see something, not to guess or just to be entertained. I don't get curious from the question oh, is she giving him anal now or in a week? That's not curiosity which is triggered here but expectation: when are we getting that and are we getting that at all? It's a matter of if and when, not an intriguing mystery.
So the aim for a dev with his update endings, I think, should be: generating expectations, not constructing cliffhangers like in other genres. Porn can be it's own narrative genre and shouldn't borrow techniques too much.
If "Psycho" would be a porn movie, there would be no suspense in Hitchcock's sense. It would not be possible nor would it be necessary. You would know from the get go that Bates is going to fuck her. But in order to be a good porn movie everything would depend on rythm, building up (and partly disappointing) expectations, generating plausibility, showing more and less etc.

But this isn't porn, it's a story, and stories can absolutely have cliffhangers. I'm not going to get into whether I agree or disagree with the bulk of what you're saying there, because I don't think it's relevant to the game. It sounds like something that would apply to gonzo porn, but wouldn't apply to scripted porn, or anything else that is scripted - such as (most of) these games.
There is a lot there to unpack. Porn is porn. I don't accept elitist differentiations here. Even a clip tells a story. Even "gonzo" tells a story. So there are ALWAYS story elements in porn, because it is human action shown and described. There is no distinction trash, "only" porn vs scripted "high" porn in that regard. And in order to be porn even the best, elaborated porn story has to follow the rules of the game (which have nothing to do with suspense). And of course there are different rules for different kinds of story. There are other genres even of high culture story where a cliffhanger also has no place because it doesn't serve the overall aim of the genre. In "War and Peace" there shouldn't be cliffhangers. In Kafka there shouldn't be cliffhangers.
Of course you can always ADD a circumstancial story to a porn story and that has cliffhangers. But that is not it's core.
