I think so. However, tolerances between the two adjacent rows would be more critical(rocking shelve).
I'd use this jig to make a full-length drilling template, and then use that template to drill all the shelf supports. That would ensure that all supports for a given shelf are at the exact same height. Especially if you're willing to invest ten bucks in
a drill bushing.
Which template hole would the bushing be located in?

Whichever one I’m drilling!
I’m thinking slip fit on the bushing, not press fit. Which I suppose could require some futzing around to achieve. But then it might want to spin ... never mind!

Lee Valley has drill bushings at a good price.

and their shelf drilling guide will give some ideas on how to build one.
