So, assuming I use lots of 2x1" and/or 2x2" for framing and some WBP
ply
for the facings, what thickness of ply should I go for to cope with
tiles (yes, have flexible adhesive)? Is 18mm overkill?

Yes.


So 15mm...


12mm will be plenty - its not taking any load


I guess I'm worried about it being kicked and cracking the tiles/grout.
But then I suppose PB walls get thumped when they're tiled (eg shower)
and they don't crack...
