I'll deal with building codes when the time comes. My concern at this point is just wether or not these blocks really suffice for a foundation or if they are not suitable from the point of view of structural integrity.

They really do not suffice for a foundation.
Being 3~4' above ground will require putting in caissons. The cardboard sonotube is about as easy as anything else.
