Just to add that's how some 'wood' flooring is made anyway.

I'm only talking from my experience. A house I was working in had
wardrobe doors made from 8' x 2' contiboard covered with T&G cladding
across the 2' width. Each strip had been glued down with no more nails.

It contracted so badly the contiboard had taken the shape of a longbow,
even to the point of pulling a hinge out on one door.

Contiboard? That's what I'd call melamine faced chipboard. And T&G
cladding is normally the cheapest ever whitewood. I can imagine the two
reacting very differently to the ambient room conditions.

All I can say is I've done what I said without problems.
