Keepsake box bottoms

In a word: Yes.

That’s the difference between a ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ wood in a project. Primary is what you see and secondary is anything that won’t show but is a necessary component. In my case, I normally use something like 1/4” lauan plywood (or whatever scrap 1/4” I have) for a box bottom or even for a small drawer bottom. If it’s going to be concealed, it doesn’t have to look good; it just has to be supportive.
