When I carry one of the bikes I lean it on the sidestand only, and then one cargo ratchet strap from each fork leg to the front hooks and then one through the rear wheel to the 2 rear hooks.
I have got wheel chock but never used it because like you say it need to be attached to the wooden floor panel, but it's not hard to do is it?
One of the lads I've seen at a meeting straps the chock in the middle of the floor via the 2 front cargo hooks.
If you go without the chock then use a large block of wood to stop the front wheel of the bike damaging the bottom of the bulkhead when pulled tight, but really you don't want it tight as you know because the bike needs some fork spring action.
When I was a bike recovery technician we were instructed to have the bike on the sidestand when in transit so that it was on 3 contact points with the floor for a more secure load, and I've done it that way ever since.

Wellhouse Leisure bond their campervan floors to the steel floor. As long as you do not intend removing it then it would be a solid professional job. I would seriously consider fitting their full-length flush fitting floor rails at this stage as they are so versatile and can be used to mount tool boxes/cookers/seating or fittings to hold bikes and motorbikes. Worth asking if Wellhouse might fit a floor and rails for you ( at a price ) as they have the floor pattern and the rails so it would be very straightforward - - -
As a qualified Ford vehicle modifier, they would also ensure that there were no insurance problems as these floors pass all of the related pull /crash tests. Just a thought.
