Jeez, I would have thought someone on a DIY site would have done or know some classical cabinetmaking.

Nah. This site is mainly populated by political, financial and viral experts.

Mitred butt, but not really strong enough.

Yay!!! Mitred dovetail, is what I've known it as. Not as hard as it looks.
After the first dozen or so.
If you have a shoulder plane for the bevel, it helps.

I was specific about the name because it was known for a long time as "the cabinet joint".
You'd be using hardwood, so it's very strong.
