Before I do anything else that requires jacking up my car, I'm definitely investing in some jack pads that will fit in the slots.

I'm actually talking about the jack "slots". I would never jack the pinch weld. There's no "frame" to be found along the rockers on a unibody shell. The plastic rocker covers weren't holding the car, the steel rocker underneath was. While the pinch weld is actually strong enough to hold the car, it's not a very good idea.
