we have an enclosed, open shower with an almost level-access shower tray.
The L-shaped wall surrounding the shower tray is about 2.10 meters (6 ft 11 in) high.
No one remembers why it is 2.10 meters (6 ft 11 in)!
No idea if we ever discussed this with anyone. Anyway.
The tiler wants the bathroom and the inside of the shower tiled to the same height, 2 meters (6 ft 7 in). So that the bathrooms are tiled "all the way up," which we wanted—I know, I know, nowadays it’s more common to tile as low as possible...
The actual question: Is 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) tile height in the shower enough?
My husband always showers with thin high-pressure jets, so he almost looks like a sparkler!
Best regards

My shower partition walls are also about 210 cm (83 inches) high. However, they are fully tiled all around, including on top.
It is important to consider at which heights full tiles should start and at which heights, for example, around sinks, the tiling should continue. I like continuous grout lines and also appreciate that in my tiling, for instance, it started below the window with the large tiles extending outwards from the center to the right and left.
My bathroom is only 4.2 square meters (45 square feet) in size, so it is difficult to photograph.

The real question: Is 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tile height in the shower enough???
My husband always showers with thin high-pressure streams, so he almost looks like a sparkler! It depends on two factors.
1. How tall are you? For heights between 1.50 and 1.70 m (4 ft 11 in and 5 ft 7 in) 2 m (6 ft 7 in) can be sufficient.
2. How do you shower? Based on your description of your husband’s shower style, you should tile up to the full 2.10 m (6 ft 11 in).
3. I think it would look odd if the last 10 cm (4 in) suddenly were not tiled. Also consider the advice from @kbt09 – tile above the height as well.
Edit: You want to live there for the rest of your life (or at least many years). If it’s not financially impossible, it should be 100% to your liking. One or two extra square meters (square yards) of tiles should not be a financial issue.
