Tis a bit overkill, but if youre happy with the chunky look then go for it.
For an alcove it's normally done with 18mm mdf or ply.

The heavier the better. How wide are the alcoves?
I made shelves for my 125cm wide alcoves in a similar fashion and they really aren't strong enough for vinyl or books. I used 18mm pine with a 38 x 18mm front strip. I may remake them from scaffold board.

Alcove shelving. Planning on batons on three sides, then shelf on top and a facing strip to cover the front and the batons. I have some big 24mm beech ply sheets. Are these going to be too heavy and overkill? Should I get some thinner MDF or something?
For record deck and such on one shelf, records on another, and books and shit.
