Is there a possibility that descending (or ascending) a steep slope in a Jimny would result in engine oil starvation due to the oil pump pickup in the sump not being submerged in the oil? Or is the sump designed in such a way that the oil pickup would always be submerged in the oil, no matter how steep the angle of descent?
It has a shaped sump to create a deep but narrow pool around the pickup

I've had mine as some horrific angles in every direction with not a single flicker from the oil light. So as Martin says the pick up must be always coveted.
I must admit that if stuck at an angle waiting to be pulled out of the mess I got myself in, I do turn it off until help has arrived, just in case!
