Ed,
This suggestion will perhaps be too late, but would it be worth considering using a #5 or longer on the side, with the carcass also on its side (as in your photo) – a bit like a shooting board and plane arrangement.
With no wish to be a Killjoy, I wonder about the likelihood of success of planing the top with the carcass standing up. Wouldn’t the ergonomics be against you; and would the carcass be stable, even with the back in place?
(We have a bookshelf, made from an IKEA table [at least for their homeland market they produce solid wood furniture] at our croft; and that taught me why also “Primordial Billy Bookshelf” has a back: without it, there would be tilting to one side or the other).
