How old is your house? If it’s 80s/90s then yeah you could skim over it adding a couple handfuls of bonding in the first coat. If it’s an older property then overboard and skim
Because if the property is old lath then chances are they’re already coming away from the joists in places and by skimming over you’re just adding more weight. Cracks will probably appear because not all will be visible to the eye to tape. So all round it’s a better, safer job for longevityY overboard x
