I've read lots of threads here about jack points but I haven't seen anyone comment on this specifically.

Is there any problem with putting jack stands under the rear trailing arms at their pivot points?

That is a good place for standard jack stands (the ones with the u-shaped tops that are meant for axles). Also put them under the jack donuts, just be careful. I got some jack stands with flat tops, they work better for that location.

PLEASE make sure your jack stands have LOCKING PINS. No locking pins might make a big difference in your health.

I use the trail arm pivots with thin strips of plywood under the "u" shaped tops,saves marking the paint and my car is very solid on the stands this way.
I only use the jacking points to raise and lower the car,would rather not use these area's for jackstands.
Don't try the original jackpoints like I did,I now have to repair one after it broke ,still haven't really worked out to repair it @ this stage.Click to view attachment

Another tip from the shop would be to give the car a good shake once it's on the stands by pushing or pressing the bumper with strong force. If it wobbles or doesn't seem solid, find a better spot to support it before you crawl underneath. Don't want to risk getting squashed if there's a

I like to also leave the extended jack in place (just in case), but always give the car a good shake before crawling underneath.

One of the members of this BBS had to have his face rebuilt after his ratchet-type jack stands let go and dropped his 914 on his head. Good thing he was already married!

Those jack points are useless. IMHO Cut them out, fill the hole in your rocker panels and carry a small floor jack to use when you need to change a tire.

I use these with the jack pads that slide into them and lift my 76 up with no problem. I have not seen this before. These look rust free and just let go?
