Your plan is good. I get my motorhome stuck at least once a year when going riding in the dessert. Will probably get stuck again this weekend based on the forecasted rain.
The only mistake you made was not putting something under the rear jacks before you lowered them to better distribute the weight. The jacks will raise the rear tires off the ground. You may need to use a tie down strap to hold the springs compressed so the tires go up with the jacks. Then you put something under the dual rear wheels (we use logs we brought for firewood). Then dig ramps in front of the tires. And drive until you get stuck again.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Until you get on terra firma.
Since this is not fun for me anymore, we have plenty of teenagers on hand to do the work.
Good luck.
