I'll differ a bit...
I do try to get reasonably level on a site when possible - and I do prefer to raise the front more than the rear when given a choice... and most times all 4 wheels are on the ground (though some may have little weight on them).

But... to me the levelers are more than capable of supporting the coach - and if a wheel has to raise off ground to make it level - then so be it.
I don't carry enough blocks to address that - I have one 2x10 for under each jack (and likely replacing those with the attached jack pads in near future) and don't feel its necessary to consume space to carry more.

I want the weight on the jacks - and not the suspension... It makes the rig more stable inside when walking around... DW can tell (she says) when even one jack is not in contact with ground... (and damn she was right... lol)

IF I am raising the back wheels - I do firmly chock the front - as the transmission/emergency brake are on the back wheels. Once on the four jacks - it really can't go anywhere - but eliminates any chance of 'shifting' while raising/lowering.
