Now I would expect that the rails would indeed stabilize the stiles.
Seems
sort of obvious since you're shortening the unsupported length.



The door panels can still warp along the length, front to back, with
multiple rails. The rails will help work against the stiles bowing
toward or away from each other but not away or towards the cabinet itself.



OOPS The door STILES not the door panels can still warp along the
length front to back.
