Well, not totally irreversible; you can still tear up the
whole shooting match when it turns out to be a complete
disaster -- which is my prediction.

I think you'll have a mess with no redeaming qualities
whatsoever.




Yeah, no matter what you do, putting vinyl tiles on top of the ceramic
ones is going to look like hell.

You really have two choices:
1) Clean-up what's there and live with it.
2) Rip up the tiles, lay a plywood base, and lay the vinyl on top of that.

If the house is old enough, under the tile will just be hardwood...vinyl
will look like hell if put on top of that as well.
