Just to add to this, as I did mine this week...
I used spring compressors to 'shorten' the damper assembly slightly, which made removal easier. You won't get them out without doing this, unless you remove the whole hub assembly. I did lower arms at the same time, so that gave me a bit of extra room. One of mine really took some persuasion to get out of the hub, as it was pretty well corroded into it. Getting the new one in took a bit of effort too. Make sure you have piece of wood and a decent hammer to hand. Don't hit the hub directly, but put the wood on it and hit that. The hub is cast aluminium, so you could damage it by hammering it directly. While one side of mine was a pain to get out of the hub, the other came out really easily.
I wouldn't worry too much about pulling the driveshafts out, as there is a bit of leeway in them. Driver's side has an intermediate bearing anyway, so you'd only pull the outer part out, rather than pulling it out of the gearbox. I've definitely worked on worse cars for that.
One thing I would say is that, personally, unless you know that the dampers are really low mileage, I would just replace them if you're changing springs. A new damper and top mount is usually less than £100 per side from RPD, so probably worth doing. It would be a pain in the backside to take it all apart, fit new springs, put it all back together and then have to do it all over again a couple of months later because a damper or top mount has subsequently worn out. The car will ride and handle badly on worn dampers too.
I decided to save a little bit of money and reuse my original bump stops and dust covers, but I'm not sure if I should have bothered on reflection. Mine were in good condition, so fine to be used again, but getting the old damper assembly apart was a bit of a pain. One of the Allen key sockets rounded off, while the other cracked. I could have tried to hold the shaft, but I just ended up cutting the spring off with a grinder, then just cut the damper shaft and slid the bump stops off. A bit extreme, but it was quick and they were only going in the scrap bin anyway! It ended up being a lot more faff than just buying new bump stops either way.
It's not too bad a job overall though, just take your time if you're not sure. Plenty of help from people on here if you need it.
Oh, and definitely check your bulkhead drains while you have the trim off, especially the driver's side one. Mine were blocked.
