Several youtubers have scienced the heck out of this by building joints with various connection methods and stress testing them. For joints using some connector, Scott Walsh has a good point of view from a beginner in a small shop perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NOx8F91AaA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NOx8F91AaA Others have concluded the parents statement that glue alone is strong enough. I think Bourbon Moth went to a weight room and tested with stacks of weight lifting plates.

With only standard wood glue they would hold great. The strings apply a lot of pressure, and I never saw a single one fail. Another nice note about standard wood glue is you can generally steam it apart in case something goes awry.
