One thing to keep in mind is that it’s exceedingly rare for every house member to be in attendance for any given vote.

I’ve read quotes over the last week from conservative lawmakers saying that no partisan bills are likely to hit the floor, as the outcome will be decided pretty much by whichever party had less people stay home that day.

Yeah, I will not be too surprised if they come to some kind of power-sharing agreement so that every day doesn't start with a motion to vacate the chair based on who attended that day. The Republicans wouldn't want to risk being shut out themselves if they tried to shut out Democrats at the start, or at least might not so a "we both agree to joint control" thing might happen.
