I'm pretty sure you're right - not only that but Subaru themselves recommend using the differential to jack from.
SEA Sleeper, I have a 3.5 ton floor jack, so I know what you're talking about. But I still use the crossmember in the front. I just park the car on four 2x8s that I call my 'SVX-to-garage adapters.'
Still, it takes two steps to put the car up high enoguh to getunderneath comfortably. I put the front up on the lowest setting on my stands. Then I put the back up real high before matching the front. If you put one side up too high you won't be able to get the jack underneath the rear.
