Hi,
What do you think about thick plain plaster pannels made for rooms construction.
They are dense and stiff with their 2" to 2.8" thickness.
They are easy for router. I do not know for the damping property (Young modulus) . But it is very cheap and easy to construct and make a clean thing.
Here it is 7 euros a plaster pannel of 2" thickness like on the picture.

If it is only plain plaster, I do not see any value for cabinet building. It will ring.
If you look at cellulose/ plaster panels, like "Fermacell" it should be possible to do a wood/ plaster sandwich which may be quite usefull for a full range cabinet.
Add a latex/bitumen coat from the inside and there should be good damping at low cost. I never tried it, may be a good idea. Most will reject it because it is so cheap, compared to wood.

In my recent reno, I opted for Roctex Panels due to their gypsum base and inclusion of fiber mesh, offering superior strength compared to standard plasterboard, remains lightweight and not boring
