Love the cork floor!
That is one heck of a wall reflector! Must bounce a LOT of heat back to the middle of the room.
My stove is on the middle of a wall, and the bricks are right behind it, blocking it from the wall.
I wouldn't worry too much about the floor. Yes, heat rises, and radiant heat goes all directions, but the ash in the bottom of the stove will cut the heat going downward by a lot.
My stove also has a sheet metal heat deflector below the stove, between the legs. Even a box stove (with no legs) is typically on a sheet of heat resistant material to protect the floor.
