CYOA
I didn't think I could afford another 3k at the time to get the whole walls covered all the way around / like a giant splashback - or at least to eye line height where the tiles would end (this was last year when I did the bulk of the kitchen but had to pause because of a fucked wall and a plasterer dicking us around for months). Plastering is now done, last units going up, ready to decorate in the not to distant future once the plaster is dried.
So the upstand already exists and is in situ. Upstand is only 10cm or something. I'm extremely messy. Want wipeable surfaces everywhere.
Heard back from the stone people and yes they do 1cm thick for non load bearing surfaces, but they also do a 4mm thick 'dekton slim', also by cosentino (same manufacturer as silestone) which they say can be matched pattern wise to the surface. So I might get them to do some previz (because i have no imagination). But it also means that I don't have to clean grout ever, which I'm all for.
