The nail gun use is a bit in the future. Thinking of covering the parkway next to my garage. Done my share of framing in the past.

IR makes good stuff, but it's spendy. I was hoping I could find something for around $500. I kinda don't want to go the CL route.
I don't know, unfortunately. I don't have air tools other than the nail gun, paint sprayers and a bunch of wands I use to blow out farm equipment (radiators, etc.), fill big tires, car tires, etc.

I use a nice Dewalt that is almost 15 years old but I have no impact requirements so no advice from me.

Where the big CFM requirement came in for me was for a portable abrasive blaster that needed 9 CFM. With the Dewalt I was spitting into the wind.
