I drywalled over all the ceilings in my home. Love plaster but on ceilings drywall does better. I got two Makita guns and they were great. Fully spooked up, press it in and off it goes. And you can set the depth so it runs them just right.
That was 10 years ago. Impact drivers existed but weren't as common.
These days, impact drivers are so controllable and powerful that unless I was doing a LOT of work or a pro, I'd likely just use that. Plain drywall straight into framing lumber is probably easier, but I was 2-2 1/2" screws through plaster and lathe into old lumber, and if not pushed hard enough, the screws would strip or the clutch wouldn't grab. Not always, it was easy to get the hang of it... but I think my modern brushless impact guns would do just as well.
