I don't dare use a big impact gun because it doesn't take advantage of the axial thrust to keep it from camming out.

Do you mean impact hammer? That's the tool to push the drive shaft off the hub flange (with a round tip) and then to crack the inner race (with chisel tip) off the flange after cutting a slot.
Also put the bearings in the freezer before installing on the hub and use the old inner race when pushing the new bearing on the hub.
On the video I didn't understand what's the difficulty removing the parking brake shoes. I would remove them out of the way to start with.
When bearing is off I would also remove the ABS sensor when you have the leverage to push it out. Then clean the sensor hole and install with anti-seize. If the sensor ever needs changing it would be a breeze.
