Personally, I'd get those metal shelving units and see if there is some sort of stepped variant.
Mount them a few inches away from the wall with spacers to fix them to the wall. Plus fix some strips to the back of the shelves to stop things falling.
That way you guarantee air flow and have less work.
Alternatively you could use twinslot as that has a forced gap unless you rebate it. Do the lip on the back thing though.

We have this pile of shite under the stairs. I want to put shelves in on the back wall. It's a shared wall with our neighbour. At the bottom there there's a soil pipe from the bathroom, which is boxed in.
My question is should I plaster this before putting shelves up? I would be inclined to but not for any particular reason. Property is from 1890 and I have seen hints of moisture in here so I guess I would probably use lime render or something. I don't care if it looks shit.
