Use adhesive or not?
Hand nail or finish nailer? 16 ga 2 inch nails or longer
my thought:
are t &g wood floors glued down? i think i understand the thought of it being a ceiling but it would seem the wood still should be able to move some.
hand nailing- how many,
"crap- bent that nail now gotta pull it"
and
"crap- theres another ding in the wood."
and
" dam this is a lot of nailing upside down. im too old for this crap. wheres my air nailer?"
could occur?

You're going to have to nail it anyway glue is just an unnecessary step.
When I did mine, I used a brad nailer and put it up like flooring, nailed into tongue at an angle. Staples are probably better.
Find joists and strike lines first.

No way I’d hand nail it unless you have more time and simply like hand nailing. I wouldn’t use glue either. I would make sure you use a fastener that has 1/2 of its length in the framing member. 1/2” drywall plus your stock thickness would be a 2” or greater faster. I’d prestain at least.
