What do you think about the following wall in a vacation home that is left unheated? Would you do anything differently?
15x118 standing smooth paneling
Vapor brake
45x45 horizontal with mineral wool insulation (also for electrical wiring)
95x45 frame with mineral wool insulation
9 exterior gypsum (for structural rigidity of the frame)
34x70 nail batten spruce
22x195 baseboard spruce
22x45 top batten with beveled edges

I think it sounds good,
you could add a vertical battens between the plasterboard and the 34x70, this has become increasingly common in recent years to ensure good circulation in the air gap and because it reduces the risk of moisture being drawn into the construction.
