My thought was a full sheet. This math would drop a little due to actual dimensions and kerf, but I’m roughly thinking 30"x60" for the desktop. Then you’ve got an 18"x60" piece to make a modesty panel/back. That leaves 3’x4’ from which I could cut two open boxes, roughly 12"x12"x18" that could be joined to the modesty panel to make open cabinets.
That leaves the 2x8 to cut glorified edge-banding and a couple of leg assemblies that only need to be 15"18" tall. There should be enough offcuts left to make some crude cable management and additional reinforcement.
Sounds like your plan would work and isn’t too dissimilar. My only thought with using the 2x8s for legs is to make sure there’s proper bracing so no potential for torsion or racking.
(I cheat and use shelving brackets, like $2 a pop on sale often)
