My 30' class A does not have leveling jacks and since I don't have them, I have learned to live without them. I use blocks, but, I have no bias either way. If my current unit had jacks, I would surely use them. That said, I have a few comments. When boon docking, (which I like) I prefer slightly elevated level sites if I can find them. I have found that sites that require excessive leveling are often not good campsites for me because of excessive drainage issues, rock outcrops, off camber exterior space, etc. Parking on a slope also causes entry/exit issues from the main door in that it may be off the ground considerably due to the slope. (nothing a portable stair step won't solve) It can be an issue if you have mobility issues with stairs and need a railing.
Like slides, (which I don't have either, but would use if I did) jacks must retract in order to get underway. Several times now, I have seen otherwise perfectly good RV's that were stuck where they were because the slides/jacks wouldn't retract. Without any mechanical aptitude, the party was stuck until they found someone (with parts if necessary) to help them. Not the end of the world but something to consider. Sometimes less is more. Sometimes not.
