You don't see the jack stands in the picture?
It won't bend as long as you put your jack stands exactly where they're suppose to be.

I know it looks bad, but it'll be fine. Just have the jack touching the differential as a third jack stand. I generally have the jack lifted until I feel some resistance through the handle and then I stop.

Well if you die then you can't kill me
Those 2 and 4 post lifts at the mechanic shop uses the same jack point anyways.
Just make sure the jack stands are seated properly and triple check everything.

You mean so the line of the pinch weld is in the middle of the jack stand?
