If you buy the nRF52 DK, you can also use this to update the firmware of Thingy using the built-in J-Link OB debugger, no need for a separate J-Link. The firmware of Thingy can also be updated OTA from iOS/Android app using DFU.

While I haven't played with one yet the Thing:52 does look pretty neat. I think you have a couple of options - It looks like they put a programming/debugging header on the board so you could buy a J-Link and be in business with the appropriate cable. Another would be to do OTA updates with the thingy apps if they support it or nRFConnect if they don't.

Another alternative would be to purchase a nRF52 dev kit. It has the J-Link built in and you would be able to program your application quite easily. The Thingy really is overkill for the simple application you describe and the dev boards are very reasonably priced.
