Yeah, known-to-me problem. I've got a number of particle board bookcases.

The one set of brick & board shelves I have uses real boards.

And I've got a desk that is two 3 drawer file cabinets with a door blank across the top. *much* easier to move than a "real" desk.

Aside from the stud finding problems those board and bracket shelves have another one. a friend was living in a mutual friend's attic for a while and he made use of the exposed studs to set up that kind of shelving to put his comic collection on (no boxes just stacks of the various titles).

One night, a track failed and he wound up half-buried in comics (he was sleeping in a sleeping bag under the shelves).

And, of course, the main reason for my idea was to avoid having to move all the books from shelves to boxes and back again when moving.

Though the tracks might make a starting point for the "frame" to hold the modules...
