Or would it be no different on a stand? Seems like maybe I should get it started before it’s out of the car. At this point everything is detached except the driveshaft and maybe a connection or two I haven’t found yet. Top side is ready to go.

Depends on your stand and mounting. If “loose” then no; it “tight” then okay.
Advantage of in place: vehicle mass is counterbalance.
Advantage of out: don’t have to worry about something damaging the body if it slips.

Yes, absolutely if you intend to dismantle the engine. If you have a super duper impact then no but for those of us relegated to hand tools, a big yes.
Holding the engine from turning is problematic w/o the proper tool and when the torque required to loosen is also enough to tip over the engine on a stand.
Since a lot is removed you have room for a strong breaker bar resting on the frame rail. The starter is your friend

If you have a REALLY nice impact and air compressor to run it, out of the car should be fine. Me personally, I would do it in the car.
In car,long pipe/jack handle & soak it with Kroil or something. Nice slippers.
