We are thinking of installing ceramic tiles on the wall between the
integral backsplash and the underside of the wall cabinets when we
redo our kitchen. The wall is done with regular sheetrock (not
greenboard). Is this a good base for ceramic tiles, or should we rip
that section out and install tile backer board?


If you want to be sure, you could coat the wallboard with redgard or
similar waterproofing.
