Front & rear points are fine for snatch recovery, don't loads of times. However it's not without risks.
Depends what is on the other end ... ... ...A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Do you understand the differences between a snatch recovery an towing?
Do you understand the differences between the different materials and construction in ropes and the physical properties?
Snatch recoveries does test recovery points so ensure recovery points on both vehicles are more then safe.
Consider recovery straps rather then a KERR
Also do not forget that often overlooked bit of recovery gear. A shovel!

That's what we were using exclusively in Tunisia, on numerous trips. Enough stretch to add a bit of kinetic pull.
