Also is concreting them def the best option to do as opposed to packed

I see other more knowledgeable replies than I could muster, but...

Is there a reason you couldn't just bash the posts in with a fencing
maul?

OK for agricultural fence posts which are tough (being rounded off bits of
tree) and have a point at one end, though proper post thumpers are better.
Picket fence is likely to use a sawn post with a square end.
