I did this at my last house before putting down hardwood floors and can't recommend it highly enough - it's one of the best quality of life improvements I made.
A couple of tips in addition to what OP said:
Once the carpet was up I found all the joists and marked them with a chalk line. This is optional, but meant I didn't have to look for existing nails every few inches... I could turn my brain off and just follow the chalk lines.
I screwed the decking down about every 6 inches. Before I started I cut a scrap piece of wood to that length so I didn't have to measure anything. Just throw the block down next to where your last screw was and screw right into the chalk line at that spot.
To save my knees I used a mechanic's creeping stool, like this. It's still hard on the back, but it helps.
It took me an entire Saturday, and over 450 screws to cover my master bedroom. But it was 100% worth the time investment.
Before putting down the hardwood I put down a quality underlayment - this also cut down on noise.
Great technique. I'd say the only thing I'd add to your arsenal is something to sit on. Future you will thank present you. :)
I have this. Probably one of my best investments aside from the DA.

Wheels can be the time consuming part, but the most fun.
My set-up for wheels & tires:
Tuf Shine Tire Brush:
This is better than Mother's Tire Brush, just does the job better. Obsessed Garage talked about it, it's bound to be good.
SuperClean Degreaser:
I like this one because the smell isn't as strong as Meguiar's Wheel Brightener, and I can use it for both wheel and tires at once. Scott from Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing recommend this one and it's hard to look back after using it. Buy a small bottle first before buying a gallon to see if you like it.
Wheel Woolies:
I hesitated to spend $50 on these brushes, but after buying them I had no regrets. You don't get the splash back from other wheel brushes.
Black Wash Mitt:
I used to use this one but I find that using a black microfiber mitt for the face of the wheel and in between the spokes made it a lot faster, and you can get behind the spokes too. But that brush is useful for lug nuts though.
Creeper Seat: This is a nice to have if you're working on a flat surface. Nice to have but not a necessity.

Well worth the $26 on amazon. Single best thing I have bought to use on long details the last few months. I do wish the wheels were a little larger to roll over cracks in the driveway a little better but still really nice.
