It is so thin that it directly takes the contour of the substrate. Therefore, it is extremely poor at smoothing out walls because even a minor bump on the wall will be visible through it. Additionally, it is so fragile that it's easy to break during handling and when screwing it up.
I really only have one use for renovation plasterboard, and that's to avoid wide putty on a fairly even but rough plastered wall. Then you can attach it with adhesive and get it pretty even.

The only reason to use renovation plaster is if for some reason you don't have space for the extra 5-6 mm that a normal board adds.
They are more expensive, if you are going to screw, it is harder to hide the screw head in the plaster.
An advantage could be the weight during installation, but I don't think it's that unbearably heavy.
