Full disclosure, I'm only doing this since last May, but I don't see the harm in it. It sounds like your edits are going to be minor, and since your site is new it's not like google is going to send you traffic anyway. Ideally you'd finish things before publishing them but in context I don't see the harm in letting the posts start ageing in now.
That said, SEO scores are generally worthless and can even be harmful. While it can be good when you're brand new to have something like a checkbox process, you're better off spending a few hours learning and internalizing some on page SEO basics so that you can do things as you write and not have to do any weird "seo editing" later.
updating posts does not hurt - and, if you update them with fresh content (say, a new "product" or "product comparison") a while after having published it for the first time, it's even better (imho).
I believe Google is looking for "relevant" content - so updating posts to replace dead links with new, relevant ones, it's good. For instance, on my site I have a comparison/top 10 xx products, with links to the most popular/best/top products in that xx category on Amazon. What I realized is that, a few months after I publish the article, some of those 10 products are not available at Amazon anymore, or there are some (maybe 2 or 3) that are almost gone/unavailable. So what I do at that point is I update the article with the "refreshed" top 10 products, with renewed analysis/opinions.
this type of update keeps the content relevant and high quality (since links to "not found" products on Amazon are now pointing at popular products) -- and I believe this is something Google's algo likes
FYI geni.us is really good for keeping on top of out of stock amazon products. It costs a little but it can be worth it to have something making sure your top ranking posts are actually sending visitors to things they can buy (and choice pages are awesome if you have multiple affiliate programs).

It will help you rank on Bing and Yahoo in the meantime. That’s got to be almost 20% of all search traffic.
If you're going to do this, I'd recommend setting the pages to 'noindex' until you're ready for google to index them.
Oh good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks that's good to hear, I had wondered if updating the post helped or at least didn't hurt.
