Is 1/2" ply overkill for the (flat) panels of some shop cabinet doors? I am
making these cabinets for practice mainly (and storage of course).

Usually 1/4" ply is adequate to keep dust and dirt out. Using 1/2"
ply works just as well, but this will add weight to your hinges and/or
may cause the door to sag.
