I only had the usage of fibres in pulp industry in mind with my former post. Such products are intended for "one time use", unless you make clothes or "plastics", but in those, you have to mix some wood fibres, won't last long otherwise, as you already said.
Speaking construction, some trees, like spruce, don't even need to be chemically enhanced to last for centuries in an outdoors environment. When the wood dries, it closes it's fibre openings, effectively making it waterproof. With no moisture within the plank/board/log, mushrooms and degrading organisms can't attach to the wood, and it will not start to rot.
Trees and tree based material is amazing, in my opinion anyway.
