Yes, slight overkill.
But I would be concerned about vibrations. Also, would use cabinets in a
coldroom to shield the trays/drops from turbulence created by fans. A
colleague recently told me about excessive nucleation observed when a
plate was left in the coldroom on a bench as opposed to being stored in a
cabinet.
