IMO you won’t be happy stepping down the saw. I have had to work down like this, and was annoyed with it, and doing a lot of the same kind of work. Find a way to step up the power :) In my last shop, with a wood floor, almost exactly like what you are saying, I had to double up joists, and even add a couple of piers under my heavier tools. So think ahead. good luck.
