There's low-key more backing for the [uː] you think is right. I've heard folks say it (in vids) with both [uː] and [ʌ]. Word pronunciations can be hella irregular, with exceptions like the "u" in "busy," "business," and "bury." So, the "u" in "tuple" might be a gnarly exception too. (Another similar debate is how to say "router.")
