Certainly LVL and LSL products are more processed, as is OSB, but those have the advantage of using 'off cuts' so they can use up some of raw materials that might otherwise be thrown out.
Even with all that processing I find it hard to believe that it would be worse than concrete, given the amount of (fossil fuel?) energy needed for cement kilns and other things.
