A consideration with using wood as a permanent part of the rock garden structure (as opposed to just using it as a temporary support) is that it rots, often within a few years... so you eventually lose the structure you'd built up (plus the character of the soil changes, becoming much more organic than you might have intended - may or may not be a problem, depending on how fussy your plants are).
