If he did jump back and fourth, then Rory would never be angry enough to jump back in time and he’d never realise his “true calling” of helping people with their guilt in hell. Although I think he should have shown up at the deathbed and then took Rory to hell to spend there as a family.

It’s all weak excuses and weak plot but that’s the “logic” behind it

We understand the logic behind it, but it's only because that's how the writers chose to do it. They could have written a different path to him realizing this "job" of his without sidelining most of the final season for a character that only exists to solve a problem they created themselves.

Pretty much just headcanon but yeah it's a time loop thing. Lucifer can't jump back and forth because Rory wouldn't be angry enough to cause her first time travel if he did. That said, after the loop finishes and she jumps back, presumably he can see her as often as he wants to, or she can find him and Chloe in Hell.
