Would I use slide supports with the phony electric stabilizers.. No.. But I do with the scissors jacks on solid ground.
A flat tire cannot effect the slide at all if the trailer frame is properly blocked up/secured....

Jacks on the corners.. The usual locations.
You do know that most it not all TTs suffer from frame flex, right? There are many threads on this.
You referenced a mobile home as an example... Poor choice. They are not designed to move frequently and are braced in many locations with very solid supports. If you brace your TT to that standard, then sure, there will be no movement, and slide supports probably would cause no harm or have no benefit.
It would be quite a chore setting up and breaking camp though.
Idaho has solid ground... Does it ever rain there?
I often have to snug my jacks up every few days. If the ground is wet, they will not all settle at the same rate. (usually)
