I agree about the increased damping of wood and lower resonance frequency, but I question the "coupling" effect of metal spikes. In to a wood floor, anyways, the acoustic impedance mismatch will result in over 90% reflection with steel and similarly with brass. This does not account for geometry, but the tip of the spike seems to me the highest pressure zone that will only exacerbate reflection. Transmission being the goal.
