I'd probably go with the idea of pruning it back @eudemonism. Fruit producing trees that get too tall to pick are kind of frustrating. The high up fruit ends up attracting fruit eating birds or possums, which then continue on to raid other trees too, and when it falls the rats move in. Better to keep it to a size where you can happily reach the ripe fruit.
I do love my edibles, and would always prefer a fruit tree over an ornamental (so many are both at once too!) but keeping them small-ish often means you can put in other trees that produce at different times of the year. I've got about five varieties of peaches in our garden which all fruit at slightly different times, other stone fruits, apples, pears, figs and others. I'm trying to get enough variety that there's something fresh most months of the year. I usually get to preserving some too. Bottled fruit, jams, sauces, chutneys, sometimes dried fruit. If there's too much fresh fruit to eat and/or preserve, I try to give it to others. That in itself is well worthwhile, because it encourages people to get into the habit of sharing produce, and sometimes I've had people do likewise with their surplus. We received a very welcome box of plums last year when our trees were having an "off" year and didn't bear much, so a few got eaten, and the rest are in preserving bottles in our pantry. I've used up a couple of them, should see if I can get through most of the remainder before the next season's ripen.
