Once the wiggle is out, bounce (vertical flexing of the trailer frame) will be what remains noticeable.
And I only deal with bounce when I park for a long time. A specific style bottle and fixed jack combo was brought to my attention last year, and I've used them for "bounce" as well as lifting the trailer for maintenance.
I was using cheap and light Reese screw jacks, which did not lift, they just created a hard stop/support for the middle of the frame, nearly eliminating all bounce.
Here's a pic of the fancy jack I found multiple uses for.
