It actually probably works better than if it was neat. If all the
components are all nicely lined up, wires bundled together etc you
drastically increase crosstalk over this "layout".

I do this sort of thing all the time, the one difference is I usually
screw the terminal strips to the wood. After a couple instances of 1200V
going where it wasn't supposed to when a terminal strip got too close to
something else, I tend to screw them down!
