I wouldn't do all that.
The main reason is weight. Those two doors are going to be a big load on your pocket slides all by themselves. Adding all that plywood would only add more weight with no real benefit. If the doors are well made they should be structurally sound with out your plywood.
You mentioned a piano hinge for the bifold. You could do that. I find that using a concealed hinge that has some adjustability not only looks better but the adjustability is extremely handy.
This is the hinge
