... but shingles are not required to carry a structural load, so the technology might not be such a great idea for decking.

The 2xs are a local product, allegedly adopted by patronage, ugly as sin (coarse, brightly colored chips, some identifiable), and assembled without compensation for the extra flexibility, where they promptly warped. They looked like the aftermath of a food fight even when new.
In an application where the product was expected to retain some structural integrity in the presence of fire, I, personally, would reinforce it with iron, in the form of steel, at loadings approaching 100 pct by volume.
