If you then lower the car+engine&trans to 36" off the ground(your dimension), you need to crawl underneath to remove the front engine mount and the 2 transmission mounts.Unless you are using a type of Engine +trans support bar above?
If the lift table has a double scissor mechanism ,it easily supports the engine and trans closer to full standing height.
I agree, if I already had a 48" lift cart, I would do exactly what you are doing. But if I am buying new. I prefer (perhaps naively)to get closer to the ideal of standing up straight rather than the lizard position.
If a lower ,inexpensive lift is O.K. ,either of the Harbor Freight alternatives would work well enough.You just have to crawl lower than your 48" lift table.
This one matches my car !

This 48" height really is not a big deal when you are disconnecting the last 4 hangers. It's more of a nuisance for all the other prep work.
