The idea sounds neat, but if you used a straight bit in a router, you could remove almost all the waste except right up to the angle. Mark your board as usual and cut the angles with a DT saw. Place the base on the inside face of the board and use the height of the bit to make sure that the sockets are all the same height to accept the pins. Then all you have is a bit of clean up with a chisel for the depth of the socket(3/4" thick board for side).
If you add a fence to your router you would have even less clean up because you could set the fence for the thickness of the drawer side material.
Have you tried any of the commercially available jigs. Leigh makes a fabulous jig that allows for infinitely variable pin placement.
Good luck,

I actually rather enjoy doing these the old way with just saw and chisel. I do have the necessaries to route them, and have done so in the past, but routers are so doggone noisy and throw dust everywhere, even with a dust pickup attached.
This idea was one of those early morning, before coffee, brain farts that some of us are afflicted with.
