On top of insulation? or on top of earth floor? Is between joists ok for insulation boarding?

My plan was actually to put the insulation boarding between the joists as I don't think there is clearance to get 100mm under the joists everywhere. Also it would be pretty difficult to get it under the joists. Appreciate it may not be as good for insulation but would this afect the wood in any...
