Yes, vital to keep the stacks out of ground contact, but also important to keep them covered— Else in a few years you’ll have mouldering stacks of rotting logs, which is far more depressing than too many stacks of good firewood.
Plastic sheeting stapled to the topmost logs, just enough to shed direct rainfall, is fine. We staple through scraps of birchbark to keep the plastic from shredding off the staples, but little squares cut from plastic milk cartons also works.
I’m told that a cord of wood, 4 ft. × 4 ft. × 8 ft.), yields about 7.5 million toothpicks. The total is approximate because, of course, toothpicks are not made to a universal industry standard. I hope you find these data useful in your decision-making process.
OAK, you could smoke a lot of meat with that… so you have reserves for the zombie apocalypse 😁
Also, use some of the fallen trees to make more firewood stands.

You could set a couple of railroad ties spaced apart, cut the logs in longer pieces, and stack them...
Absolutely. In fact, I'm doing something similar with PT landscape timbers, which are cheap.
