If the rear wheels are off the ground, nothing is preventing the coach from rolling. Even if it doesn't roll, the jacks would be subject to side forces, which they may not be capable of handling. I've heard RV'ers asking for a welding shop to get a jack welded back on.
As for using the jacks to lift a coach for tire changing, no one wants the liability of it failing and injuring someone. You're trusting hydraulic hoses that sometimes blow. Even if it's rare, it can happen. Look at hydraulic vehicle lifts in garages. They always have mechanical safety stops to hold the vehicle up before anyone gets underneath.
Whatever you do, be safe.
