I am reading all this without coming to a decision.
Perhaps it is relevant to refer here to Chris Thomas' "Claudius and the Roman Army Reforms" (in Historia 53/4 [2004] 424-452), who mentions that the first buildings with stone foundations can be dated to the forties (Xanten, hospital). He also points at the transfer of troops to the Danube in Raetia. That answers my initial questions, but the problem is of course more complex.
