We have a 16 ft Intex on a concrete pad at the moment. When we set it up 3 years ago, 3 of the legs were outside the pad, as we didn’t account for the extra room for the legs when we made it.
We will be replacing it next week, and want to get the new pool level.
The current is about 1.5 inch off-level, due to the 3 legs sinking in the grass.

We have some 10x10 pavers from our patio we plan to put under the 3 legs - and of course level them with the concrete pad first. But will this hold up?
There is no significant sloping of the yard - the off-level is caused by these legs naturally being lower than those on the concrete.
 
But will this hold up?
As long as the pavers have a solid base under them they should be fine. Keep in mind splashout tends to make the areas around the pool soft, so don't just lay the pavers on top of the original soil or they could sink or tilt. You may want to dig down 3-4 inches to pack some base material down first, then lay & level the pavers.
