And what about using screws (with abundant glue of course) to
assemble? Would it be wrong?



Not "wrong" just something I no longer use. I never liked having to fill the screw holes but worst of all, even when clamped, sometimes the torque of the screw would move the pieces. I also gave up on 18ga. nail gun nails, especially in MDF because they bend going in and come out all over the place.

Eschewing fasteners, once mastered, is easier and faster. The latest bar clamps from Bessey and Jorgensen with their square jaws really help, too.
