a 1/4" tongue of weetabix doesn't have much strength,

True but the T&G on weetabix is more like an inch and half with quite
on offset between sides and the toungue/groove tapered.

My loft boards are 3/4" (green flooring chipboard is 22m or occasionally
38mm).

My 1976 house has trusses and a 37 degree roof pitch, but I still
managed to get full size 8x2 t&g 18mm flooring chipboard through
the loft hatch.

It's a lot stronger than those 'weetabix' loft panels that B&Q
sell.
