  Anyone have experience using a paint mixer instead of a hand blender or overhead stirrer?

  We did try that, but on the second day he said his arm was about to drop off, and he never came back.

  Yes, I have used a slightly modified double can tumbler (commonly used for paint) to mix 5 gallon HDPE jerry cans.

  This was to mix silicones, water, and some emulsifier for a personal lubricant being shipped out in the jerry cans themselves. I haven’t tried to use an overhead stirrer in one of these jerry cans so I can’t comment if it works better or worse, but I can say that for my specific purposes the tumbler worked.
