Two downsides of more wood on trees i could see would be:
1) It pretty much just pushes the problem back. In some cases the added time might mean one player can overwhelm, but in general the issue would still be the same just take another 30min or something to reach the point of wood running out.
2) Denying a woodline or even a whole part of the Island with a landing becomes less impactful if you can take the safe wood longer. Not sure how that would translate into actual gameplay but it's always something to take into consideration when talking about altering resources.
