We've got a pretty large mobile app (hundreds of screens)[0] and we've so far resisted the urge to add a hamburger menu. Hamburger menus are particularly bad with modern screen sizes and force the user to make a physically uncomfortable action by stretching their thumb or adjusting their phone in their hand to reach it.
It comes down to understanding what exactly your users are trying to do and developing contextual UI based on the few primary flows. In our case, our main nav at the bottom exposes the most high priority features, and additional pages can be found in the "More" menu. The More menu is functionally similar to the Hamburger menu, but varies in a couple key ways: it sits bottom right of the device, which is much more reachable, and it doesn't include items already shown on the main nav.
