jack stands can fail...and have...to people I know....no thanks....just takes one time.
that should be fine but when you change the oil with the nose lifted a good amount then you'll wind up having some old oil remain in the pan, the pan drains best when it's level, then the drain plug is at the lowest point when it's level, with an upward angle there will be some oil trapped at the back of the pan behind the drain plug... not a whole lot but...
also, if this is compounded by starting on an upwards slopped driveway it's even worse. you can beat this by backing it up in the driveway, then by the time the nose is raised the oil pan wil be close to level...

They look good Jonas, I had steel ramps and I gave them away, they were just too heavey and cumbersome. I purchased a set of Scepter Pro Ramps, the pair is good for 12,000 lbs and are lightweight. I drive my full size 4x4 up on them and they are rock solid.
They look like this:
For wheel chocks, I made up some out of 4" x 8" lumber

Do ramps in the front and put the rear on jack stands to level it out. You won't be under the back for an oil change anyway, and even if the jack stands fail you'll be safe between the ramps...

Ramps on an incline (or decline) sketch me out, man. It's just my personal opinion, but I wouldn't do it.

I have two jacks and two jack stands. I lower the jack to hold pressure across all four.
The jack stands are a back up for the jack failing and the jack is still there because it has a bigger foot print base. The jack has a small foot print and if you push the car hard enough could fall off the stands, where the jacks will give a little more before toppling over.
Or you can make a pit in the ground like jiffy lube.
You have to use special heat resistant insulation for that spot. Jumbo has the dynamat version iirc.

Make your own.. easy, decently cheap, and STABLE! If wood can hold up houses and buildings it can hold up your fx. use solid 12 x 2 wood and dont have to worry about anything at all when underneath. 100% stable and not collapsible.
