A deeper dive on the same topic, https://info.baysupply.com/essential-guide-to-threaded-rivet...

> rivets are rather cumbersome/manual to set

Astro ADN14 drill-adapter tool has polarized reviews, perhaps it works better with experience, https://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumatic-Tool-ADN14-Adapter/dp...

Also the oldie-but-goodie, NASA Fastener Design Manual [1]. Rivnuts are on page 32, but not a lot of space is spent on them - they aren't strong enough for your rockets and satellites, although the military is willing to consider other types of blind rivets (page 94). Rivnuts look great to me, though!
