for a timber pole to rot it needs moisture and oxygen. For bridge abutments I have designed that needed piling if they are always under water then always used untreated piling.
For timber bulkheads and walls exposed to oxygen we used creosote-18#/cf or CCA-1.0# cf.
All the research I have done on timber posts into soil suggests that the concrete should never encapsulate the bottom of the post for better life.
so concrete around the post but not sealing the bottom---or no concrete around the posts--but it may be set on a hardened concrete footing.
I my self have built sheds and decks on treated posts with gravel around and under the post to facilitate drainage
