That's my thinking as well. I also doubt Quickjacks are really that much less of a hassle (than jack and stands) - seeing uncut videos of people lifting their cars there's still a bunch of fiddling with positioning - raise the jacks, check alignment, raise some more, check again, etc. (and do that on all 4 corners at once, so walk around the car a bunch of times). The biggest benefit would be if you need to raise and lower the car a bunch of times without driving it (maybe for suspension work where you want to torque down bolts with the suspension loaded?), but otherwise I just can't get myself to consider the splurge on Quickjacks over jacks and stands.
No on the fasteners... Unless you set them really on the edge.
I use mine for annual maintenance and alignment where the car is up and down a lot. Way too much setup work for the winter tire swap and even just for an oil change. They're heavy and I have little access one side of the car making it really difficult to position, though i do usually move the car over a bit first which helps. I got mine when I decided to start doing my own alignments and corner balancing. That's a minimum of once a year, maybe more.
