If you just butt two boards together you glue only
1 edge and only on 1 plane so the joint isn't very
strong.

No doubt about that. My cabinets are made with simple "looking" butt
joints. But, in reality, there are dowels rods inserted and glued in every
joint (that do not show). Otherwise, I might tend to put in some of those
corner braces inside. If fact, I got some and considered it just for added
strength. But, my synth is for home (an an annual trek to AHMW). So, I
never put them in.
