Funny your wife wanted to witness you crawling under a suspended engine.... If I did that the job would be suspended....indefinitely! At any rate, I'd opt for a jack stand under either side of the sub-frame. Those engine support bars make me nervous.

For the part where the engine is suspended, i was able to do the job without going under the subframe. You can do it from the sides, as i did. I also had my jack under the side of the subframe i was working on. It can be done (relatively) safely.
I did not have as easy as a time removing the bolts as crystal works described. Its tight, but doable. I was also solo, but a second pair of hands is always a big help.
I really dont understand how this job is possible at all without dropping the subframe; at least on the N62. There is barely space to move the mounts out/in.
