Depends on the car and equipment. Had some rear end axle fluid come out of a breather hose on my Jag, while no problems on other cars.
One car started dripping oil from a dip-stick hole but then it was on the bottom "side" while tilted." We rotated the vehicle the other direction and solved that issue right away.
Just depends and most are no hassle.
It makes most work underneath or on top very easy. Exhaust is a breeze now that you are not underneath it, and welding on underbody or fussing with a roof is easy, where before it was a bear.
Then when you are finished hang the puppy up on the wall or in the attic and its tucked away until needed again.
