Should be fine ....
You can get a beam that fits in the same hole as the jack cup, this spreads the load better across the axle ....

+1 will be fine, it will probably lift it slightly to one side as the diff is offset but will be ok, just lift it high enough and set both axle stands at the same height and you will be fine, don't forget to chock the front wheels.
