Help with heavy duty shelving design for my home office

I've just designed this shelving for my office which will be loaded with pretty heavy flightcases and equipment, probably up to around 50kg each shelf. I've never done a project like this before, but thankfully know how to use Fusion 360 from my degree. It's built from 18mm plywood (although if it were viable I'd like to try doing it with 12mm to make as much vertical space as possible on each shelves) and 38mm x 63mm framing timber. There's an obvious worry around the centre of each shelf, where I've got a cantilever holding the weight. This I'm not sure about. And also I've decided to use the short edge of the timber as the horizontal beams, to leave as much room as possible on each shelf, but I know that's not the strongest way. Could anyone weigh in on the above concerns, how well would this thing hold up, if at all? Am I missing any other important design features? This won't be tied down to any walls, just free standing. I'm not sure if these diagrams are clear enough, if I can improve them in some way please let me know.
