Third, if I not mistaken, the drain plug is at the rear of the oil pan. Therefore, jacking up the front would promote more complete draining of the pan than otherwise.

First of all, I replace the drain plug, and then, slide my drain pan under the place where the oil drains when I drop the filter. No mopping up.
Secondly, I suppose that's why all service station lifts have a rearward tilt to them.
I'll stay flat, thank you. Process takes about 15 minutes -- I'm sure most spend more time than that removing belly pans and jacking/ramping the car.
