Those wooden bridges...the ones that have collapsed.... replaced with what? Ah yes Concrete and steel.
I use steel axle stands as my main support, the concrete blocks are merely an insurance option tucked under the wheels.
Structural engineers? Best ask them what mode concrete is superior in, think you'll find it's compression
Oh and yes I use wood as well - often to spread a load across a chassis, to pick up on two structural strong points or to protect a vulnerable component (like a bell housing) from a single point load
I'm sure your wood jenga blocks are absolutely fine for the job, more important is location you choose for support and the work area in general. (i.e a flat surface where axle stands cant topple)
Regardless of what option you chose people - just be safe.
