We moved here from Michigan in May, arrived on a Saturday, and on that Monday immediately went down and acquired our Florida driver licenses and registered our cars. We only had to pay state income taxes to Michigan for income through May of that year.

That is exactly correct. I filed FL tax return in 2019 and the residency requirement has always been 6 months and a day. It’s also required for homestead for property taxes. I do know of folks who claim homestead in 2 states though because there’s no reciprocity in checking tax status, drivers license records etc.
