The info you seek is best found in actually talking to folks who are doing it. I can tell you as a bit of a former Floridian myself, most everyone based there lives on the I-4 corridor or the space coast. Very few south Floridians find that commute palatable. Many of them do Houston or Baltimore for frequency and seniority. The MCO base is perennially senior with a bit of a junior bubble on the FO side. That being said, if you have something else going on in the sunshine state and absolutely need to live there, you will be able to drive to work. Having moved away and gotten some distance from the place, I wouldn't personally want to do that drive every week, but it exists.

If I were in your shoes, I would seek out someone who is based there and talk to them about it. Ask hard questions. Put drive times into Google maps at various times of day. Remember that many SWA trips start at 4am. Others end at 1:30am. Now picture yourself trying to make that drive work.
