Excellent, have a kitchen with crown molding that has separated from the ceiling. The contractor used the double cross nail into ceiling sheet rock. Complete rubbish instillation only saved time for him and now i am repairing his work. Took a few years to loosen up. Nice to see you're an actual craftsman!

Thousand and thousands of feet of crown installed and never blocked or put extra strapping or blocking before drywall. 18 gauge brads criss crossed into drywall only and never had one call back

if you feel comfortable installing that way, then by all means get at it! I like to hit wood when I fasten and found that this way is better for me. It's not a must, it's just the way I prefer to do it.
