Span tables represent maximum spans. Shorter the span, the more solid it will feel. If you are concerned, such as if you are laying bath tile, you can change the layout to 12" on center to stiffen the floor. As always, for a subfloor you would want to glue and screw a minimum of 3/4 t&g for tile.

Ok thank you, floor won't be tile, but knee wall around whirlpool tub will have tile, and I think shower walls will have tile
