In my experience it's exactly the opposite. Say, when using a scissor jack I did bother to put a wheel underneath the raised car just in case. No need with the HF floor jack which is rock solid (yet, no getting under the car, of course!). Yes, you should mind the hydraulic jack's condition, but if it works it just does. A scissor jack doesn't feel that stable and it eventually breaks (the BMW one got it's plastic bushing destroyed by the metal screw rod, luckily at the best moment possible though yes, there had been signs of weakness before that happened).
And by the way, a very nice garage you have!
