Yup.. and if anyone is parked opposite my driveway, I can't pull out without dropping one of the trailer wheels over a curb.

Obviously a tight spot and/or a narrow driveway. That said, if you
can drive it out over the curb you can probably learn to back it in
over the curb, just takes patience and practice. You could put a
small plank against the curb to act as a ramp. The manual procedure
you describe sounds risky to me.

One of the things I did when learning to back my old 24 footer was to
take the boat to an open space like an empty parking lot and work on
getting the angles right.
