All Viking appliances (at least the cooktops, I am guessing ranges too) require a back plate to be installed, and I think they won't sell you the unit without also buying the back. Those burners can put out a LOT of heat (>=12k BTU on the newer ones), and it is there for mostly protection to whatever is behind the unit. SS is the specified material, tile won't do. They also specify a hood to go with them.

If you'll settle for cheap steel, you could get an old car hood.  If
you leave the star on it will even look pretty classy.

You might want to rethink the thick stainless anyway - that's going to
add a lot of weight to the area.  You're just blocking splatters, not
explosions, right? :)

Best,
