I have the Porsche 19/20 set and love the simplicity of just changing my own when I want with a floor jack and a few wrenches/torque. Easy and fast.
I have noticed that I can easily lift both the rear and front wheels on one side simultaneously off the by just using the rear jack point. I’ve ignorantly shied away from doing this given that it must put a load on the chassis but does anyone know if that can cause any damage?

I also used Jack Points for the winters but clockwise from the front right, rear right, rear left and finally the front left. When I raised the final front left, the front right raised about 1-2 inches from the Jack Point and pad. Wow, I lowered the floor jack very slowly. Yeah, I think the lower structure is pretty stiff. I don't expect any damage as a result.
I changed the wife's Mach 1 winters by lifting the whole side of the car from the front jacking spot (front engine) and placed both Jack Points on that side. In spring I think I'll raise the 992 on one side from the rear, just like you described.
You must have ordered at the perfect time. I inquired about Michelin snows last Thursday and was told by Prestige that the Michelin rear tires were on backorder. Parts is getting me Conti's instead. Definitely prefer the Michelins although the reviews for the Conti's were not bad.
This is basically my experience. I was able to get the front Michelins ordered, but my rear tires are on backorder until 11/13 (which I guess is fine since my car is still sitting in Emden, haha).

While I think the Michelins are the best - Tirerack (assuming you are in the US) has the Continental TS 860 S in stock (rears are only $380 each!) and the P Zero Winters in stock for $652 each.
For the fronts they have the Continental TS860 for $310 each and well... that's it (besides a whole bunch of others including the PA5).
More of an FYI for anyone else who needs tires quickly.
I pick my Porsche winters up Saturday, then I have to bring them into the house, ceramic coat them and then in a week or two, put them on. I need to find a hockey puck (gave my last one to the neighbor kid) and my 17 year old is going to love me for carrying all the tires...

Ahhh, thank you! Tirerack is exactly where I ordered them. Any idea why those options don't pop up when I search for tires by car? Do those options fit the 20''/21'' setup?

it is weird that hey don’t show up! Discount Tire and your local Porsche dealer can also get the tires. If I knew then what I know now, I would have the 295s on my spare carrera classic wheels.

Thank you, appreciate the info! I'll keep my fingers crossed that Tire Rack gets my tires back in stock on 11/20 and sends them to me, haha.
