My '96 MIM Stratocaster is poplar. That guitar is tone-full -- it oozes quintessential Strat sounds!

As for soft woods and screw hole threads, I've sometimes done a Dan Erlewine trick: run a bit of super glue onto the screw hole theads. It hardens the wood significantly. That's what I did with the bridge-mounting holes on my CIJ Tele (basswood).
