Before I even got any responses, I decided to take them down and start over.
They all come down pretty easy, which means they probably wouldn't have
lasted long in a shower environment.

Not the dumbest thing I've ever done, but close. At least it was pretty
easy to fix....just took some time.

OK, I know, I'm stupid.

I just realized that I did one wall of my shower using drywall compound
instead of thinset as an adhesive. In my defense, the buckets look
similar....

The question is, am I screwed? Do I need to take down all of the tiles in
question and rehang using the proper adhesive? The tile was put up over
cement board, so, even if the grout fails and water gets behind the tile,
it seems to me that the worst that would happen is the tile would come
loose and I'd have to reattach it (using the proper adhesive, of course!).

I know the proper thing to do would be to start over, but I really don't
want to have to do that unless I have to.

Any opinions from the experts out there? Thanks in advance.
