Only harm I could possibly see, not sealing brackets on camper. Or somehow managing to back truck under with out noting they are still down. Otherwise a plus, even if you use stands.
I also use the small stands with some wood spreaders, but only on extended stays or parked on really questionable ground. (the since returned camco stands were too short for our camper @17" even with blocks, pictured are my old Reese at 18 1/2")
Though I dislike the movement when offloaded one of the primary reasons I made our "or the like" was for the lifting and lowering of camper. That has always been sketchy on our 'weaver', more so with the extended jack plates. I have 2 pair on each jack, front to back & side to side
When the jacks get flipped out I attached the front to backs, as soon as truck is clear I attach the side to sides. A simple world of difference in camper moving when elevated.
So much so I recently added a fixed pair to rear legs. Though some campers come with lower brackets attached to bumper, our lower brackets are 2' up & the way they are mounted only offered front to back, virtually no side to side resistance and they moved a lot.

Four stacker jacks and a couple of 2 x 3's support camper belly and reduce camper wobble. They are easy to store when traveling too.

I'm sure all the suggestions work fine. I had the opportunity to use my Wobblestoppers a few times this year and I like them very much. There's a few reasons that I will cut and paste here form a document I made that I sent to Torklift providing feedback. In a nutshell, I highly recommend them.
First thing I noticed when I opened the shipping box is that the parts were well packaged and the finish on the products appears durable.
Instructions were easy to follow.
I was surprised and very pleased to find two locks were included. That’s awesome!
Now as to how they performed:
Connecting and disconnected the fast gun wobblestoppers is a breeze and is done in a matter of seconds. It is apparent Torklift paid attention to detail in developing this kit such as the self storing brackets, included locks, and velco securing straps.
The single best thing about the fastgun Wobblestoppers is that they self store. I already have a ton of things to pack and unpack, and I don’t have to worry about finding a place to store these. They are always right where I need them to be. The last thing I would want is the hassle of removal and finding yet another spot to store or haul something.
Upon connecting the Wobblestoppers for the first time, almost all sway and wobble from my camper jacks was eliminated. I can now walk inside and move around the camper without the swaying feeling. The lower to the ground I drop the camper, the more stable it becomes. It is a drastic improvement.
I usually unload the camper when I arrive at my destination, and for the first time my family and I were able to use the camper and not have to tiptoe around for fear of wobble. We spent a whole week in a very sold feeling camper thanks to the Wobblestoppers. It made our week more enjoyable because it eliminated a worrisome problem.
They are easily one of the best additions I have made to my truck camper set up.
As for the comment about leaks, I have two replies. The first is, the brackets screw in under the cab over. Water intrusion isn't really an issue in that area. Some sealant will keep the water out anyway. The brackets screw in to the frame, the screws aren't long enough to go through the framing and in to a water tank or wiring. Now worries there.
