We are considering doing something similar. I'm following a thread on another site that has a few tales of woe.

I'll be interested in how yours works out. Oh, a wander through our local Home Depot yesterday - some of their plank floorings are on sale pretty reasonably.
One of the reasons I went vinyl plank rather than wood laminate was my concerns over stiffness. But the "waterproof" was the main driver.

You put these floors in with an intentional small gap at the walls and they are not glued down (that's why they are called floating floors). That fact compensates for any temp or humidity issues.
