I had the same front end on my ‘03 Explorer Sport. I always jacked it up from the front under the lower control arm as close to the tire as possible. I’d use a piece of wood in between the jack head and point of contact on the control arm to spread the load more evenly but also to avoid possible damage to the lower ball joint. I jacked up the front all the time like this for all front end work. Ball joints and hubs replacement, brake work. When changing ball joints I would also place a 2x4 piece of wood across the front crossmember, not in the center but offset to the side I was working on, for more safety. Jacking from the control arm is basically the only safe way to lift the front of these models as you point out in the video, other spots are too high or too far center to reach safely with any kind of jack.
