Yeah, I'd not go for the super basic titanium stakes if you're going to be around a lot of rocks. I upgraded mine to titanium v-stakes personally - best grip to weight ratio I could find and I couldn't bend them by stepping on them (220lb guy). You still don't want to hammer titanium though and rocks are tricky.
My recent upgrade cost me $16 on Amazon w/ Prime and weigh ~67g for 6 of them, with ties replaced. However, I'm the only review on that product and my scale showed the weight was off, but with Prime's return policy I wasn't concerned. You could go with Toaks as well for a few bucks + grams extra.
If you're concerned about the durability and can spare an extra few ounces, just go with aluminum stakes of a v-shape or cross-pattern, both are good grip types. The nail types are really only for shaving a ton of weight.
I use the mini Groundhogs, they are very durable and I really like them. I have broken 1 over maybe 4-5 years, but that seems pretty minor considering how I take care of them.
There are some titanium options I've been considering, but I wouldn't upgrade until I lose one of my current stakes or something.

Those would also work nicely in the snow as a deadman stake because of the holes.
Couple of small suggestions that unfortunately add a tiny bit of weight.
I'd swap out one or two of your tent stakes, I hiked with an Altaplex and the shepherds hook stakes didn't grip enough for the front guy line causing the tent to collapse a couple of times in strong wind.
I used the MSR Mini Groundhogs otherwise something like Toaks titanium V shaped should be pretty good.
Also if you haven't yet bought the spork I'd swap it for a long handled one so you can reach in to Mountain House style meals without getting covered in food.
