Hello!
Changing the flooring in the hallway results in having to tear down half the house (sigh).
The walls have masonite that has warped and become unsightly, combined with four to five layers of wallpaper... so it’s probably time for a refresh anyway!
My plan is to remove the masonite and replace it with renovation plasterboard (5mm), as that seems to be the easiest. The interior walls are made of planks so I think that would work fine there. But the exterior wall is a different story... the exterior wall is made of blue concrete with black paper (?) and then minimal studs. Putting renovation plasterboard on studs of that dimension just feels wrong. Could I maybe remove them and install OSB and renovation plasterboard?
How do I solve this in the most reasonable way?

I would install regular drywall. Generally, it's easier to work with and better at hiding small irregularities. But if you absolutely don't want it to add more than 6mm, you might get an okay final result with renovation gypsum as well.
