I specialise in rip outs ( a lot here do so I’m not boasting) back to floor and walls for re fits. To be honest. It’s the best way in some situations.
I agree, I think the only way to get the tile done correctly is to rip it all off, plaster the walls flat, not leave old https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/, blown skim and good skim then spray it with some sort of bonding - then 'mark' the room square virtically and horizontally then set the tiles and this time, apply the tiles onto a nice flat surface.

Strip back to brick. Then either dot and dab appropriate plasterboard or use a cement board. You can batten wall out too. Don’t bother with bonding and skimming
