Next issue is fixed load (kitchen units) on 18mm chip over 40mm PIR foam. The heating system suppliers recommend stiffening the floor (insert suitable batten) where the load will bear.

Scrub that last bit. I think it will have normal screw in feet!
Given that they manage not to dig in to the 18mm weetabix of cabinets, why would they dig in to an 18mm weetabix floor?

Well.. the cabinet feet are positioned near the corners so have some rigidity provided by the sides. The floor is supported uniformly. To be fair, the designers were probably assuming expanded polystyrene rather than PIR but I'm not sure there is much difference.
