I just drop the back of my trans skid (Shrockworks) and use a form-a-funnel to direct it to a pan. No need to fully remove it.
A Fumoto valve with a nipple and hose is on my oil pan. The hose stays there full time, hanging 1/2" or so below the skid. At oil change time, I use a pick to flip the valve and it goes right in the pan, no mess. Oil filters use a form-a-funnel again to keep it from dripping down the block onto the skids/diff.
I have used a Fumoto valve on basically all my vehicles, including lowered ones with 4" clearance to the ground - before they came out with the little clip. There's no way that thing is getting flipped accidentally, and a stainless ball in a teflon seat isn't leaking with zero pressure behind it.
