On a late car, the trans mount is connected to the car with two very thin bolts. Although I have done it in the past, I try to avoid jacking the rear of the car this way to limit any potential damage to the bolts or the mount. I would imagine its the same/similar on an early car.

Furthermore it may also put pressure on the torque tube and front/rear bellhousings which is another reason I avoid doing it. The trans is connected all the way to the engine so any movement in the trans affects that entire drivetrain all the way to where the TT connects to the front bellhousing.

But I do agree it is super super convenient and tempting.

YMMV
