I'd still build a pier for future proofing alone. A good option for you may be to try out a plate called a "Surefoot". Its a variant on the mega anchor. I've contemplated using one of these instead of a pier and may do so with my next scope. If they are anywhere near as rigid as the mega anchors I suspect it'll do the job. Digging a bloody great hole and filling it in with concrete is a pain in the proverbial for many reasons but digging the hole between bearers would be an order of magnitude more irritating. A surefoot would also be better environmentally I as well.
