Stagger the joins, but a 1/4" tongue of weetabix doesn't have much
strength, so only tread where you can see screws into the joists unless
you're slimmer of the month ...

Do you take similar care walking over a floor in a modern house? Because
the same arrangement of floor boards exists there.

Remember you are talking about a 2' wide board adjacent and interlocked
with another, spanning one joist space - so there is no reason for it to
give at the edge.
