    I’m a bit out of date with what’s available nowadaze but there used to be a lighter variety of muck (MDF)
    on sale here in Oz.
    Some 12mm of that would be ideal if it still exists.

    Ended up with a sheet of 2400mmx1200mmx9mm plywood from Bunnings cut to size with their awesome looking big cutting saw (far easier than trying to cut it myself with a hand-me-down handheld circular saw and get straight cuts etc). And the LEGO baseplates fit perfectly over the top (any small knot holes/imperfections dont matter since the baseplates are big enough to cover those holes without stuff being off-level and the baseplates cover the entire board so the fact it looks ugly doesn't matter either)

    Used some 16mmx18mm pine blocks to provide supports underneath (creating a rough frame about the same size as the existing table so that the board wouldn't slide off the table if its bumped) and secured them in place with PVA wood glue that sat drying overnight. The result is currently sitting on my table covered in LEGO and working perfectly.

    Bonus is I have some off cuts left from the pine that I can do something else with in the future
