As another layperson who always dreamed of making dovetail joints for strength, I was quite surprised at various explorations of joint strength on Youtube that tend to find that mitered box joints with dowels or splines beat most other joints by a wide margin. This is great because they are even easier to make, and can be made to look quite nice if you use a contrasting wood for the dowel/spline.
