Only issue I've had is the pressure tanks that help collapse the system don't hold pressure very long or consistently. I was lazy and didn't check them the last time I lifted the vehicle since it had only been a week, and as I was lowering the car, one side didn't compress at the same rate.
After much worry, I thought to check the pressure canisters and sure enough, one of them was at 0psi. Filled it up to 45psi and everything came down okay. But it was nerve wracking having a vehicle in the air and uneven and not being able to move it up or down....

recommend reading the owners manual section about air cylinder.
there is mention of a schraeder valve tool which can tighten the valve, if thats the issue..
If your garage is side of the house requiring to turn into garage..may not be good idea.

I also use the plywood under the quickjacks and box covers on top to prevent rust from water/condensation dripping onto the quickjacks.
From the Quickjack manual:
Problem is that it gets awfully crowded under there so you might be better off with a good floor jack.
They are rated to be used without a jack stand.
From their own page:
"When the QuickJack Portable Car Lift is used according to our instructions (vehicle frame's lifting points properly engaged, weight capacity not exceeded, etc.) the lift is safer and more stable than any jack stand on the market."
Having said that, popping a stand underneath the QJ when its up just as peace-of-mind is never a bad idea.
At 17.5" max lifted height, doesn't seem to be high enough for transmission removal.

But it is answered, 3 times, in their operation manual:
