It is unusual to not get replies, I expect some people are away or the like.
In the void, I shall give *thoughts*; these are not experienced enough to be considered advice  When you use an unbalanced veneer, you can get (and I have observed it when I was doing a side at a time) significant warping of the panel. I can't tell you that this definitely will happen in your case, but it would certainly seem to be a good possibility. I do know it isn't really a "down the road issue"; the warping happens pretty quickly (same day in my case). One way to get around it would be use a two ply veneer, where the backing veneer is directly attached to the face veneer.
I am curious as to the reply though; I am looking a re-doing my kitchen this summer, and prefinished plywood for one face or -- if I get desperate -- melmine (both for the interior) and custom veneer for the exterior is what I want to do, so same predicament.
