Seems like extra cost and faff.

Any better (more durable) bikepacking/short-pole options?

If you know or can find a sympathetic builder you could probably get it for free, the amount required for a tent floor is tiny. It doesn't compress very well when new, but it's weight savings over other options is worth the initial bulk. It's also not waterproof, but water resistant which is a good thing in my books.

I was thinking more along the lines of having a tent floor that was more durable and didn't need the tarp base added. But perhaps it's a packing thing - keep them separate so they pack down into smaller packages?
