Seems to me like board width would be the main concern. Hard (for me) to get solid boards any more than 30cm/12" wide, and a shelf stack that shallow will get kind of unstable when stacked more than a few units high. Strength wise, it ought to be fine.
I think I'd still use plywood for the back/bottoms, assuming you'll fit them in a dado, which will hide any splintering at the edges.
