Level floor structure with shims?

Hi! We are currently renovating and expanding the cabin partially on the existing crawl space foundation. The company building it was supposed to align the wall if needed. They didn't do that, so now there are regular wooden or wood chip wedges under the sill to compensate for unevenness in the wall. Will these wedges really withstand the pressure and keep the levels maintained when walls, roof, and kitchen are in place and will it hold over time in a humid crawl space without the wedges slipping out of place? Very grateful for your thoughts on this! Regards, John

What is the span of the floor joists considering the weak dimension of the fastening?
