You always wanna do a top mount with either a spring or a shock Just not worth the risk of having to do the job twice Or a dissatisfied customer

Mobile mechanics working as you are showing here are not safe. From a health and safety point. No hi Vis. No cones. No markings to identify your tent. No signage. No beacons or chevrons on your van. Roadside repairs are and will always be a temporary measure until you get to a garage, or a safe off road place. Roads are highways and are not designed to be used for a workshop task. A driveway or off road area would be a suitable place for repair. This is the reason why car mechanics get so much grief, it's because there is no industry standard or guidelines on how to operate. As soon as you swap to the commercial or psv world, you would never be able to do the things that car boys do as it's a regulated industry and you can't get away with such a blaise approach to vehicle, personal and road safety.

Looks safe enough to me, I’d probably rather turn the van around and work on the pavement then I’d throw away them pound shop spring compressors iv not seen people using them for years, because they injure people and you can buy a safe spring compressor for a few hundred pounds
