Just how realistic is it for me to try to do things myself (oil change, transaxle fluid changes, CV boot replacement, muffler replacement) from underneath using just a simple set of floor jacks and a creeper board?

I finally bought a quick jack set. Makes it so easy! I bought the 5000 lb. set, about $1100, I paid with Paypal 6 mos. same as cash credit. Bought a big plastic shed at the same time, put me up to about 3 grand, paying $500 per month. (I have the cash in savings, btw.) The Quick Jacks, btw, come with rubber blocks. They are 5 star awesome!
When I replaced my engine, I used an air assist, bottle jack (Harbor Freight,)Rhino ramps, standard bottle jacks, jackstands, and a motorcycle lift. 2x8 square blocks help, use fairly new lumber, tends not to split. You can get rubber jack pads, do so. The minimize body damage. Everything on a Boxster can be done that way. It's just extra work.
