After gutting our bathroom, the walls now present a rather "grim" appearance.
We are currently considering which option would be better or more cost-effective.
The walls are to be partially tiled and partially plastered. Either way, a smooth surface needs to be created.

Either have the walls fully plastered or use paneling materials to create an even wall.
The photo might help to better understand the starting situation.

The picture is a few days old. Since then, the toilet cistern and the old drain pipes have also been removed. The plumbing company will start with the new pipes on Monday.

How would you proceed?

Ok, if I understand correctly, you want to get the current masonry interior walls smooth?

Is the goal to have tiled walls or painted plaster?

Hasn’t your question already been answered?
-> plaster all walls, and where you want, tile over them. In my opinion, this is the simplest and highest-quality option.
Just make sure to use materials suitable for wet rooms.

I see no need for any kind of composite panels here.

And if you are planning to have the bathroom plastered separately, I would consider lime-cement plaster as an alternative to gypsum plaster. In my opinion, it is a bit more valuable for a "wet room".

No, that’s completely normal. Walls with plaster and tiles knocked off always look like that. It’s rougher than a bare shell before the first coat of plaster, yes. But there are no uneven areas. I don’t see any reason to worry.
