Oh man, somehow I forgot my own thread here and totally overlooked your reply! Sorry and thanks for the hint!!
I just read through the other thread... There are really useful contributions, although people somehow disagree specifically on the load. So I didn't really understand it...
First this:
Then this:
And then again at the end this:
It somehow sounds healthier (even though I didn’t quite understand the vapor permeability either (in any case, we don’t have any foil in the wall construction)), but now, do you have to somehow think about the load when building hanging cabinets? We already want to hang some (not just in the kitchen). I once recessed the expansion plugs described by hampshire in an old apartment in a double-planked drywall. Sure, the plugs are more expensive and not quite as easy to use, but you usually don’t do it every day, so from that side it’s manageable. For all those years I somehow always had a queasy feeling about that cabinet and hoped it wouldn't come down. When moving out I removed those things myself and first realized how incredibly well they hold! Sure, now I’m not He-Man and can simulate a cabinet’s moment through the additional lever, but it wasn’t easy to pull the significantly less spread-out plug out again...
And yet I do have my concerns here about how much less force there will probably be on the OSB board...

First this:
To my knowledge, gypsum fiber boards are not as load-bearing as OSB boards. That means when mounting tall cabinets and kitchens, this has to be taken into account or is limited.
Then this:
By now I actually see the advantages of the alternative and am much more relaxed: vapor permeable, just as load-bearing for hangings, non-combustible, no off-gassing, vertically load-bearing, so also structurally, statically load-bearing, more soundproof compared to OSB, more resistant to summer heat, possibility to omit foil.
And then again at the end this:
Besides, OSB is much easier when mounting shelves, pictures or other things
