Are you trying to justify this to yourself or your wife? If yourself - no, it's not needed. If you want it & are trying to convince your wife - absolutely, it's an essential piece of equipment.

there's balance required on any lift. That one removes the front/rear balance as long as the wheels aren't lifted, but it's still a bike, it can easily tip to either side.

I would think a jack would get in the way more than help, a true table lift would be cats ***. My buddy has one, and has a scissor block jack he puts under the frame to remove a wheel or for additional stability

Remember to clean the pipes with Windex to remove your hand and finger prints before starting your bike or they will be there for life.
Also if you are installing headers pipes and muffers have everything lines up before tighting the bolts, work from the heads back when tighting.
