Hi there!
Are you attempting to build a Stripe App as we discuss here: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps?
Just want to make sure you aren't getting mixed up between integrations here

Hired a front-end developer to assist with client side integration and he created a stripe-apps key in his own Stripe account as a proof of concept. The code works, but I'm trying to get it working with my own Stripe account now where no app is uploaded. Rather than upload an app, I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to bring it together (e.g. using a Stripe private API key generated from our dashboard instead of the apps key)

But you are indeed building a Stripe App, as opposed to building an integration to accept payments for instance?

We have a simple SaaS for an educational course provider, attempting to do a simple PaymentIntent processing between client & server. Stripe App doesn't seem necessary as far as I can tell. If I understand correctly, it would allow streamlining more complex operations via the Stripe dashboard, but this is about the simplest Stripe integration there is.
The only place the Stripe App appears to be involved in our code (as far as I can tell) is for authentication with stripe on the client side, where I expected to instead see a secret API key.

})```A potential solution to our problem would be the ability to replace the Stripe Apps key with a secret API key in that call to loadStripe. Trying to confirm if that's an option, or if it's necessary for our client code to authenticate to Stripe using an App key, despite not using Stripe App functionality on the Stripe dashboard.

Yeah okay so I think you are mixing up Stripe Apps stuff with a normal integration. Client-side you want to use your Publishable key which will be found in your Dashboard alongside your secret key here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys
