Also, no one has posed this question yet, but I’m assuming you could substitute a Noco jump pack for the battery here, eliminating the need for jumper cables and a 3rd set of hands? Simply connect the jump pack to the screwdriver?

Wouldn't you then have to find a good ground near the device? It would have to ground the body and engine (I think).
dang. Exactly right. I’m sure a ground is needed.
Does it do it with all keys or just the one?
both fobs
this looks like it could work well i think. Anything that long on amazon was $30 range. I think next time im at Harbor Freight (too bad i was just there this morning), i'll pick this set plus some chap 10G jumper cables

12' should be long enough?
I don't see the need for using an actual screwdriver. A piece of 1/4" steel rod with some electrical tape wrapped around it should work just as well. Cheaper, easier to stash.
Any chance the previous owner stashed a fob in the dash to enable remote start and maybe that fob has a dying batt? Just trying to think of other potential solutions before replacing parts.
I’d say that’s unlikely. Previous owner was the college age daughter of a local dentist. And I’ve had the truck 5+ years now. Plus it has factory remote start.
