Keep in mind that 1/8" music wire is pretty flexible. If the landing gear is correctly designed and built, you'll have a spring in there that will absorb lots of shock. With the forward sweep of that gear, you should be fine. Don't glom on too much weight -- keep in mind that your block is up against the spar; just glue it there & you should be OK. Do make a socket to receive the end of the wire. The way that landing gear is arranged, as the wheel is pushed toward the wing the end of the wire plugged into the wing will want to turn toward the back of the airplane.
Here's a (unfortunately poor) picture of some landing gear that's lasted me well over 500 flights. If you squint, you can see the socket in question -- it's a slot cut in 1/8" plywood, faced with 1/32" plywood and glued to the rib. You'll see that it's no wider than the landing gear block.
The socket will serve as a doubler. I'd use a
modest doubler at the other end of the block, to spread the force to the wing. You can probably just follow the plans and be OK.
As pictured, this is
more stout than it needs to be. If you ever find pictures of how Bob Hunt does this in his foam wings you'll see how much extra wood there is here.
