Maybe that's why there are drivers with long handles and strip-fed
screws to enable screwing down flooring while standing? :')

Let me suggest that you forget the brittle drywall screws. Think "deck
screws"- made of much tougher steel with thicker shanks, and typically
have "combo" drive capability. Can be driven with square/phillips/combo
driver bit. You'll have the devil's own time snapping one of them. And
you can normally drive them in flush without predrilling- Dewalt DW257
driver can drive them to set-depth same as drywall screws.
