I'm only going to be able to catch two studs to screw into
and the Z clip stock is 3 1/8" tall by 3/16" thick so I can
get two screws into each stud.

So my question:
Will these things support 200+ pounds if done as described
above? I REALLY don't want this thing to come off the wall
- figuratively and literally.

When doubt could you use a double row of these for double strength?
Alternatively, Rockler sells these and also sells steel cleats
claiming, Hardened steel for outstanding strength and durability. 18''
in length. Protrudes 7/16'' from wall when pieces are assembled.

I've used these Rockler cleats. Right now, a set of them is holding up a
loaded handplane cabinet in my shop. 48" tall, 12" deep, 36" wide. There
are maybe 2 dozen planes there, plus saws, measuring tools, mallets, etc.

The cleats are strong enough.
