Of course IF you can give your guys accesses (stairs/ramps) you should, but, putting them in a good place for use is also an issue. If they are placed where your Yorkie has to divert a quick decent, then he probably will avoid it and may hurt himself.

But, I have noticed that there is a lot of differences in how Yorkies are built. My guys are rather robust, have rather thick leg bones, which of course contributes to all of them being Teapots. And with that, My Males are jumpers and Female not so much.

I think that is a Lineage issue, more so than a Breed issue.
