Imagine hitting a rise in the pavement on one side or the other.....frost heaves to Alaska being an extreme. Each time a tire hits, it not only lifts a corner, it does so with a lot of force. So I figure a slow gentile lifting of a corner (in the right place of coarse) should be much less of a concern.
I guess you could twist the frame.
I use a bottle jack and lift where the rear axle is mounted to the suspension. Up front, I lift on the lower control arm in just the right place where it is balanced and strongest. I would lift at the frame, but the bottle jack is too stubby. I'd have to set it on tall blocks of wood or similar.
