Question About Jack Points and Stands

That's from the 2020 110 workshop manual. I haven't looked under the car to be honest. So far I've only done tire rotations at my house, and with my high reach floor jack on either front or rear jacking points I can get both side wheels off the ground, so I guess that's another way to place jack stands...

So you’re saying that if you jack up (let’s say) the front using the high lift floor jack then it lifts the rear jack point up high enough to place a stand under there?

I needed to do some work on the rear brakes. I was able to use a floor jack on the front jacking point and lift high enough to put a jack stand under the rear jacking point.
My floor jack could just barely get high enough to have the rears slightly off the ground, but the jack stand does not need to be quite that high as the rear will raise up a little when the front is lowered.

Does anyone else have updates on what they've done for jacking points? It appears the current best practice is to use the front jacking point and lift it enough to add a jackstand at the rear for safety? Any new wisdom/easier methods?
I need to rotate my tires soon, and always prefer having a jack stand under there somewhere in addition to the jack.
