Perhaps some can do it in 5 minutes but the bolt on top is difficult to get at not to mention the hydraulic cylinder. I'll bet it takes me an hour or more each way.
Personally IMO I can't imagine it would create a problem with the transmission jack holding the engine back in its normal operating position .

If everything was assembled correctly, and torqued to spec, nothing should leak.
I just dropped a car off the lift that had RMS, IMS Solution, oil pump upgrade, AOS, water pump, and a clutch. Started up fine, no signs of problems or leak, went for a 20 min. drive, put it back up on the lift, and it is still bone dry, and is now back in the owner's happy hands. If you take your time and do it correctly, what you are suggesting is completely unnecessary.
