ᐅ New Construction Wall Finishing Drywall Prefabricated House

Hello,
I have already gone through the forum extensively but unfortunately haven’t found a really helpful answer yet.
We are currently building a prefabricated house of about 140m2 (1,507 sq ft) with a timber frame construction and have chosen the “painting prepared” option. This means that ceilings and walls are covered with drywall panels and have been filled and sanded. The construction description states that they will be sanded appropriately for a textured wallpaper called “Raufaser.” So I assume this corresponds to a Q2 finish.
Since we are complete beginners, we have been thinking for a while about how to finish our walls. If possible, we don’t want to use the Raufaser wallpaper. We keep reading that you need to apply an additional Q3 level skim coat before you can paint or use a painting fleece wallpaper. Others say that just priming and then painting is enough...
We’re really overwhelmed right now about what to do to make sure the final result looks good.
We would like to paint the rooms and not use pre-colored wallpaper. But what is the right procedure for that? What is the best approach? What makes the most sense?
What should I do about the ceiling? Does it need textured wallpaper? Is that advisable?
I would really appreciate your help.

We are currently finishing the interior work.
The ceiling is concrete; we sanded it once and then applied a coating, no non-woven wallpaper.
The walls were at Q2 level, although our painter said he rarely sees such good Q2. He sanded once and treated the few areas with drywall compound to Q3 quality.
Afterwards, non-woven wallpaper was applied everywhere. He will install that.
We are applying the coatings ourselves on the upper floor (second floor) and attic (without non-woven wallpaper to save money).
We will have the ground floor coated professionally.
We have 159 sqm (1710 sq ft) plus the attic, and it is a lot of work, definitely not to be underestimated.
In the end, the process is priming, non-woven wallpaper, first coat, acrylic glaze, second coat.
Our 12.5 L (3.3 gallon) bucket of paint costs about €80, and we need several.
It is very convenient that we can use all of his equipment.
