We've actually removed average lining paper before replastering 😊 Tbh I think having it plastered will make life easier long term. It's not that uneven really - just that once you're really looking at a wall...
What's the rational of Gardz? I don't think I'll bother just because of timing limitations (need the room back by Tues morning). Also we'll ultimately do another top coat in dulux kitchen which is petty thick.
The sponge sounds like a plan.
Tbh it's not that bad. Just some visible pin holes now. But it's also that I've knocked back a load of high spots along with the first round of filler so it's back to being leopard patterned.

Good quality lining paper gives the best long term outcome. If you are doing a lot of small filler patches then try feathering it out with a sponge and do use Gardz.
Also, how are you going to apply the final coat? If I'm doing the job for myself I roll it on with a small roller and then even it out with a brush working top to bottom keeping very straight lines. If you use a decent roller on perfect walls you might be happy with that finish though.
