Definitely recommend getting a pair of ramps instead. The ground around my house is relatively soft so I had to do similar to yourself and drive down the road to service the car. Switching from having the front up to the rear up can easily be done in less than a minute.
Maybe I've just seen too many videos of things going wrong, but jacking up a car and putting it on stands always makes me feel a little uneasy!

The oil change was fine. Finding somewhere flat enough to jack the car up was the tricky bit. Even on the most level place I found it was still a bit of a stress/uneven getting the car up.
And then there’s all the interest from the public/keeping an eye on your tools. I was considering doing it at a multi storey if it was raining but I imagine they might be a bit funny about it.
