I wouldn't care one bit if it were German stainless Henckels or Wusthof knives in a wooden block, because they are built like tanks, blade edge isn't as extreme angle and very rust resistant.
Depends on how much care you take when pulling out and putting in a knife into the knife block.
If you twist the blade, or jab the point into the wood, it might damage the tip or edge.
Not so much because the edge is getting damaged when sitting in the block.Not drying knives properly and putting them into a knife block might cause rust and corrosion too.
If you've spent 30 minutes with whetstones and strop to get a razor sharp edge, I can understand why you might want to protect the edge as best as possible.

I'm sorry but are you really saying a knife edge resting in a wooden block is more likely to get damaged than when bearing into a chopping board under pressure while cutting?
If the knife was that flimsy I'd get a different knife
