Do you have any idea how much forward/backward tilt is usually needed?
That depends on how level you can get the engine.
Hmmmm... this is another thing I never thought of.
I will be on "adjustable" jack stands from HF. The 6 ton size.
They have those gear teeth.
That's the limit of adjustability.

How do you measure that the engine is "level"?
I have levels, of course.

In fact, I "tried" to measure the level of the transmission when I did the
lube change a few days ago.

You need screw style jack stands for precision leveling:
