So wondering if a belt sander would be appropriate for taking a couple
of mm off here and there?


A plane is the easiest of the tools to get this right. Belt sanding is much less easy. And really you need to take the door off or you're making the odds of getting it right far lower. I would not consider disc sanding at all, that almost guarantees a whatsits-up. Of course it could also be done with sandpaper wrapped round a bit of wood.
