I didn't read the details on the foundation but are the 6x6's currently resting on a concrete footing in the ground? Or are they in the ground with concrete poured around them like a deck?
If they are currently resting on a concrete pier in the ground you should be fine. You can always use something to treat the wood to prevent weathering and from the soil or pests like tarring and termite bait sticks around the perimeter. If not, have you thought about adding blocks and shims at points under the house to rest on like a mobile home? may be a cheaper option since you've done this thing on a budget and are so far along in the process. If settlement occurs after that, you can make adjustments as needed.

Oh ok I got you, peace of mind is priceless. I think you’re probably good with some preventative mesausres. If you ever notice uneven floors or sticky doors, jack and level with blocks. Hell, people used to build houses on stacked rocks or cut logs used like posts and they’d stand for 100 years. You have new and engineered materials so you’re already ahead of the game in comparison.

Solid point! Thank you Sir.
