Sure, but I've seen even ring-shank nails pop. Stainless screws are

Not arguing here, but in my experience nails popping out is generally
due to under-engineering in the manners of: movement caused by too much
space between joists, and nails too short.

I know there are other causes, but I've seen nails pop due to those
causes.

Driving nails at creative angles can do wonders towards preventing them
from popping out.

I was taught to drive opposing nails at a "V" which does wonders to
increase holding power. (tangent)
