Cabinets might not be continuously modified for years, but the house as a whole will be. The backs of the cabinets will continue to matter much less than the fronts, both for aesthetics and maintainability.
On the other hand, somebody's definitely going to regret that hacky thing you did inside the wall when you remodeled the kitchen and knew it was a bad idea at the time but did it anyway.
