Nah. You make the studwork structural and use the bricks as cladding.
Its standard practice.

Studs with a stressed skin (strawboard) outer is usual, then a membrane
tacked on, then some kind of support nailed on to key the blockwork too.
Or you can clad with fake timber cladding that never needs painting.

board.

Strawboards is really made of straw!
