IMO that leaves you with a strong chance of the piers being prone
to condensation or penetrating damp. I would build stud walls with
full height studs between sole and head plates set out between the
piers so that the rear face of the plasterboard was 10mm or so
from the face of the pier - or at the loss of a little extra
space, 30mm and put some 25mm polystyrene in between the studs
either side of the pier.
