Removing the plasterboard with the tiles
all seems a little overkill to me..!!

If the tile adhesive is straight onto plasterboard, rather than skimmed
plasterboard, it very often comes away with the tile, that is to say, the
tile, adhesive and PB are often bonded so tightly that big chunks of it end
up coming off, if this is the case, it would probably be easier to just rip
it all off and re-board

yes. By all means try and get them off, but be prepared to end up with a
re-boarding job.

BUT its actually so trivial to relay new board, which doesn't even need
skimming, for tiles, that its no big deal if it does come off.

I am so used now to removing and replacing, and even reskimming,
sections of wall that need supports behind them or cables run through
them that its no longer an issue for me. slap the board on, scrim edges,
plaster on, and orbital sand it down to natch the old. Paint and go.
