Could providing updates to schools I am already admitted to result in any additional aid considerations because they may make a more desirable prospective student?

what are you updating them on?

Just publications and new activities. Nothing groundbreaking.

These updates won't help you get a "better" financial aid package. Anything that adversely impacts your FAFSA could.

Could sending updates post-acceptance potentially help with receiving any merit scholarships (not need-based) from the school? Or is it not common practice to update a school on activities and accomplishments after they accept us?

After you have been accepted, the most important updates center around your FAFSA, your final transcripts, your background check, your health vaccination record, your tuition check, and your appearance at orientation. Look at your program checklist and hit the deadlines.
