Pouring self-leveling concrete and using wood rails to screed surface. Can I leave the wood? (self.diy)

The plan was to leave the 3/4 inch wood embedded in the poured concrete, but this will be tiled, and I'm wondering if the concrete might crack if the wood expands. If necessary, I can pry them out and fill the space after it sets.

And yes, I know self-leveling means this shouldn't be necessary, but it never seems to work out that way in practice.
