many nuances here but don't over complicate it its not rocket science .. the tools and products needed are minimal. hopefully the gypsum hasn't been added to a rapidly failing surface (it wouldn't have helped, just brought the surface up to 'smooth' but unfortunately is a standard and what you are working with). if your hesitant just try filling one or two safe areas realise it works and then go for the whole lot. yes there are other products that can be applied before but it'll be a shockingly little sticking plaster (if that metaphor works) the manufacture instructions hold so much more weight than YouTube

Once you've started to remove the loose stuff, you'll get a feel of how stable the surrounding plaster is and will be able to tell if it needs to come out or not.
PVA for sure to seal the bricks (if you're going that far back) or wall before you do the bonding and easifil. I followed this video
when I've had to fill in small-medium size wall issues.As it's an internal wall, I wouldn't be concerned about mixing modern and lime plasters as there shouldn't be any moisture moving through the wall if the bathroom's leak has been sorted.
Be careful with the drill and paddle mixer, you might burn out the motor when doing the bonding as it goes pretty thickkk. I keep a garden trowel handy for mixing this usually.
Flexitubs and rubble bags will be your friend for tip runs. Don't dispose of anything down the drains (inside or out).

@HeyHey
hello, sorry, me again
Circling back to this issue - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/178667/?offset=44575#17332206
So I cleaned up with the HG mould spray (which I was super impressed by, sprayed, left 30 mins and came back and it was all gone, gave a final wipe over and no mould).
