Nice build OP.
My understanding is, when its on the wall, its against drywall, so the backing is less of an issue. Regardless if the wood is back there, its still against something, if that makes sense. So, if you mount a panel away from the wall that has a backing on it, its still acting like the wall is behind it, so you minimize the benefit of actually putting an air gap.

Not sure if thats completely correct or not though. Feel free to comment.
