Yes. Doesn't seem to be any more to say.

Yes. Drivers take up very little space. Its better to have them on the same drive as the os so there's no possibility to having problems.

Besides drivers, you should install any monitoring or other system control software you use. They take so little space like 30mb each you won't even notice them.

Yes I have drivers installed on my SSD and it doesn't take alot of space. You can also install like browsers,antiviruses, or any other startup programs on your SSD to have a faster startup time as they don't really take alot of space for me (depending on the size of your programs).
