ᐅ Cladding an Uneven Wall in the Guest Bathroom

Hello everyone,
I have the following issue. In the guest bathroom, tiles were removed and the area needs to be redone. However, not all walls will be tiled this time; some parts will be wallpapered or plastered. Now, I still have adhesive residue on the wall, which is difficult to remove. Even if I manage to remove everything, the wall surface is not really smooth afterwards.
At the hardware store, I found some kind of insulation boards that are not very thick and can be wallpapered directly.

Is it okay to install something like this on the walls without any problems? It would save me a lot of effort with filling and smoothing, etc.
Or do you have any other suggestions? From my point of view, it’s definitely not a solution for everywhere, but I think it’s sufficient for the guest bathroom. If I understood the tiler correctly, he wanted to clad a similar wall in the main bathroom with a Wedi board. Thanks

I’ve just noticed that there are drywall panels available in 6mm (1/4 inch). That would be perfect for this. I think I’ll give it a try with those. Thanks.
