Indeed. It's the old quip about monopoly money. Personally, I would not be willing to accept tokens as a large part of my compensation full stop. I haven't dug into crypto offers though so I'm not sure how true that is. That said, unlike options, tokens almost always have liquidity immediately, so an engineer could (probably) trade their tokens for fiat value if needed where an individual with options would be tied down through the exercise process.
