I have come so far that I am about to start installing ceiling drywall. The problem is that the "flat" ceiling has a slight slope. For example, on a 4 meter long interior wall, the height difference might be 1.5-2 cm (one end at 2.45 and the other at 2.43). Do you understand what I mean? It's like a regular floor joist where you need to add spacers/shave it to get the floor level. Currently, there are furring strips in the ceiling 28x70 mm on 30 cc, and I would like to screw the drywall into this, but then the ceiling would be slightly slanted. How should one do it—is there a simple way?
I would prefer not to place spacers on every drywall panel where a screw is placed (150 mm cc). Is there a simple way? Maybe some steel profiles that build a maximum of 3-4 cm that I can place spacers on and then screw the drywall into?

Just raise the ceiling and you'll never notice the difference at 4m.
Saying the same! I've renovated a living room in a 100-year-old house. You notice that things are crooked when you're working on it, but when the room is finished, you don't see it anymore. The only time is if the straightedge and spirit level come out, and why should you have them out?
I think like the others here that it's nothing to worry about.
If you insist on fixing it, the simplest way would be to install new sparse paneling, properly leveled, between the existing panel boards. I believe leveling each attachment point for the drywall individually would be an impossible project.
It's absolutely not a major flaw. When I renovated the kitchen in our house (built in the 30s), the old ceiling differed by 70mm over 4.6m. I would never have suspected the flaw until I used the spirit level.
