1.6TDI Downpipe

Not sure anyone can advise you if you can do it?
I personally don't like doing exhausts from a floor jack - I have done it few times, but each time I do a lot of cursing and say never again (until the next time!), and should have payed a garage with a lift to do it.
If you find a seized bolt/sensor can you undo it?

just trying to sort out the cheapest option and asking if it’s doable with it on the ground or will need a lift

If it's doable for 'you' will depend on 'your' experience, skills and tools - and only 'you' know that?
Have you done exhausts before? or other big jobs (DPFs, timing belts, head gaskets, wheel bearings, clutches etc..)? Can you tackle seized fittings in confined spaces?
I'm sure some people have done it at home off a jack, and if it all comes apart easily then probably doable - but as I said, from my experience if you get a seized fitting/sensor (very likely) it makes the job 10 times harder and when ever I do an exhaust using a floor jack, I'm usually cursing, wondering why I didn't just pay a garage.
I changed my parents NOX sensor last year on their 2016 Citroen HDI on my drive using my jack - what a right pain, a simple job 'in theory' but the sensor was properly seized, I tried undoing the clamp by the down pipe to get better access and that too was seized.
