Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something stupid but I think you're right! Appreciate you commenting.

I ended up using 6 screws on a 2x4 since I didn't have a great space to fit a 2x6. Seems solid I'll let you know if it falls down 😂

I'd be comfortable putting about 500 pounds on a 2x4 screwed directly into a joist. I'd be worried more about the joist sagging than the screws or 2x4 failing. I think you'll be all set, lol.
