using wood stringers for stone steps

Is there any reason why i can't build a set of entrance stairs using pressure treated stringers. then face them with concrete board so that i can face with stone an place blue stone treads on them? It is a similate practice to facing outdoor cabinets for islands and such for outdoor kitchens.

I would beef up the pressure treated to handle the weight. or even use something like IPE as the framing if i had to.

Really don't want to dig below frost line for new pad and all the extra cost, time , and labor involved.

thanks for the help. Surprisingly I haven't been able to find any info (good or bad) on this method.

Thanks for the guidance!!!
