I have a video somewhere of me having to fix a mistake on an mdf box. Pulled the screws and the mdf came apart so easy I recorded how easily the box could vibrate apart at the seams. Trying to find it.

I've done them but never with anything high powered. Nail/brad gun + glue is quick but I wouldn't trust it to hold up to real abuse over time.
Use brads.

op isnt anywhere near 130 db, i'm 100% sure he's fine.
the glue is what holds it together anyway. use a good amount of glue and you will be just fine.
The above video was a heavily glued mdf joint that had screws clamping it together for a week. I pulled the screws out and it took maybe 10 lbs of force to separate the joint.

say bye bye to mdf and boom! problem's gone.
I pretty much have. Birch and oak ply looks better and for what you spend over mdf you save on shipping.
This is where 45's and window bracing really helps.
