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.
