Yep, that matches my experience. There was a lot of Feynman debugging as well. It's a good job for somebody who is eager to learn new stuff and get out of their comfort zone. Another great thing about it is that people tend to stick around for a long time, so you build good friendly relationships with your coworkers. The biggest downside of driver development is that it becomes very repetitive after a while: you are the maintainer of this immense complex piece of clockwork (the hardware) that you must to keep ticking reliably at all times by working around all the bugs in it. It sometimes feels like your beautifully crafted software contains as much code to track and work around hardware bugs as it contains code fof the idealized hardware described in the origibal documentation.
