Expect a shattered wall.

Eh? Would work fine, indoors, with the right nails and nail-gun.

Outside, you want to allow water to drain and the masonry nailgun
nails aren't galvanised (or ss or otherwise treated), so nailing or
screwing into battens would be a much better way to go as others have
suggested.

But a concrete block wall shattering would not be an issue.

mmm was hoping to avoid battening as they will make the face timber[1]
project too far off the face of the wall, and beyond the slight
overhang of the copings... so brass screws into the block maybe with a
plastic washer or too betwixt wall and timber?

[1] which timber(s) goes a nice weathered grey colour over time and
appears to not need much maintenance?
