I'm just in the process of redoing my driveway. My old driveway is 25 yrs old and falling apart. Instead of interlock, I'm doing regular concrete with exposed concrete inlays. Here are some Pics of my old driveway. I will post more when finished.

Since you have DIY in the title, I'd recommend 20mm chip specifically for the concerns you mentioned. The very few 40mm chip (no tar) driveways/car park areas I've come across left much to be desired even with "professional" installation.

I've got an aggregate driveway and I HATE it with a passion...hard to kneel on, holds every little crumb and rock, etc. Fortunately it hasn't cracked anywhere and the house was built in 1996. It's supported my X5M on my QuickJacks without any issues but it makes them hell to move as well. I've got concrete parking for three cars, gravel for a fourth...I'd LOVE to refinish the three car portion into something smoothed/stamped but I'm sure it's not possible and skimcoating the top to make it smoother sounds like nothing but issues from what I've read.

Pic attached is the only one small enough 540i attach but you get the idea.

I had a friend/neighbor do pavers. Cost me $6,500. Had a professional company quote me for $11,500.
This was completed about 5 years ago and it still looks great.
