I'd hire out the ceiling.* My ass won't get up on stilts.
I would hire out the whole tape and mud job. (and I always have)
Finishing drywall is miserable. The stilts would not enter into it.
Ditto on that. I hated it when I could do it when I was younger.

I feel your pain. We moved a month ago and still have a load of crap to
unpack. They have trash collection twice a week here and a few things
are finding there way into those bags my wife cannot see through.

Once done, you can take a lot of pride in your work though.
