Are there downsides to using them though (apart from the price) - aren't they weaker and prone to corrosion/deterioration?

Yes to both, hence the value of a good set that have been checked for alignment! They are a requirement for some race/rally classes.

Is that Ferryman's super sturdy camera tripod or the world's biggest axle stand by the tool box ?

That is a transmission jack, used on 964s onwards to remove the gearbox with the engine in situ.
