Are there downsides to using them though (apart from the price) - aren't they weaker and prone to corrosion/deterioration?
I don't know this - I'm just asking

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.

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