Would a couple of "Faux Rocks" be okay in a terrarium for a T?

They are lightweight and hollow, I don't think it would cause any issues or potentially increased risk of abdomen rupture?

What you can safely use depends upon your T. For example I have a few Exo Terra hides, that my Brachypelmas love. But they are reasonably heavy & I would never use them with a burrowing species.

Just to add. I believe the above hollow stone, was designed to be in an aquarium, so it is reasonably heavy. But it came with our hamorii girl. Who is not a burrower & who has shallow substrate. She is also in an enclosure that does not allow her to climb more than about 5 inches. So she is not going to climb & fall on it. She loves that stone & spends much time either, in or on it.

It's a G. Pulchra, only about two or so inches right now. Never seems to dig anywhere except clearing room under its hide.
