15mmis way over a half inch, so yes - plenty of support.  

I'd say that the most important thing in such a venture is to work with more,
smaller drawers.
A large drawer takes more stuff - good - but however you make it, you have a
large mass to move to open it, and once moving, it will want to stay moving, and
you don't want several pounds(kg's) of iron and 'sharp on a stick'  heading to
the floor, or the children / grandchildren's feet.

and, depending on width versus depth, a wide drawer is often more open to
racking.

As for modern, steel, ball bearing efforts and such like, well - we spit on
them.  If a wooden drawer on wooden runners was goof enough in Queen Elizabeth's
day (the First, that is), well, I say it's still good enough now.

But I'm a grumpy old galoot, so I would say that.
