I'm purposely not getting into argument about the strength of drywall
screws because I don't think that's the main concern here.

And, there's really no need for screws, per se, anyway...other than the

will be all it'll ever need. And, as for the rest of the frame, ditto.
There's nothing in tension to need anything more if it's designed at
all smartly.
