I don't see why you couldn't permanently mount some of those stabilizing jacks like they put on big travel trailers and 5'ers.  Put one in each corner.  Run them up and down with a cordless drill.  Would be lots less hassle than using jacks that have to be set out each time you park, and later taken up to store in a bay.

Not sure about that as if the hwh leaked down over time (which ours does) and started putting its full weight on them, I'm sure it would likely break something expensive.

Jerry I had given this some thought prior was thinking a lock cylinder with a paw  inside on a long enough handle to reach from outside the wheels when almost down. Dropped low then leveled makes sense to me. Pull the pins and light spring extends and paw prevents dropping down. Then select dump or just drop a bit more staying within level. Would have to raise coach to remove to unload tension. Pull and reset for next use manually basically a mini jack stand

I'll have to search the web for that. 👍  I suspect that any 'jack stand' would be taller than the available space. But one never knows what the internet can find for you.

I do raise the coach to max, then level and just throw the aux step on the ground. I do that because quite a few RV parks have sewer pipes setup for high travel trailers, not low slung class A's. I find poo doesn't roll uphill very well.

I didn't understand your issue about movement before but after seeing you raise it to max before leveling, that would cause much more movement than what we do. Also there are stops to keep the tire from damaging the coach when dropped down. You could try setting down then leveling and just raise it when you go to dump.
