Just use insulated board, and. Strip along the wall joint and skim. You'd not notice 45 mm or so
I'll refer you to this pic. It needs to be flush with the bottom of the shelf on the right. It would be fine if there wasn't a dip in the middle...
I've just ordered a few of these boards from screwfix, so we'll see how it goes.

some boards you can plaster straight over and some you cant as you need a bonding agent first
on an edit
id be cutting out that dry rot wood piece and replacing it with a new piece just cut out the bad part and nail a new piece at side of it
but with that stuff id rather remove it just to be sure

Just thinking out loud, will using insulated tile backer board over standard plasterboard make a noticeable difference in regards to heat loss through cold bridging? The contact area between the board and the timber isn't a huge amount, and there is now actual insulation between the joists.

it wouldnt have been asked as id have found a way to get it out
I've carried on with the levelling and insulating, even ran a few more wires just in case. Ready for boarding now, but before I do, I was wondering how precise the levelling needs to be? There are a couple of points which may be 1-2mm out of level, will this be detrimental? Will the plasterboard conform or crack?
I also want to sound deaden the alcoves. I've chosen to build an independent stud wall using metal studs.
There are two options for top and bottom U track, one is standard (25mm), the other is deep (50mm). Is there any benefit in going with the deeper track? Cost implication is negligible.

Are those small blocks for levelling? ....I would not do it that way.

Lots of reasons...main one is I've been there myself!
I see you've marked their positions...but any screws that miss the spacers could potentially allow the board to move and pop the screw head thro the plaster!
Done a great job so far.

1-2mm should be fine once you've skimmed it

What i'm getting at is will the plasterboard conform? It's not very flexible.

It'll move a few mm easily.

plastic sheet catches water for fun from a leaking roof ive seen it bring ceilings down with weight of the water thats held within it
also your insulation will soak up the water rather well
you just needed netting up to hold your insulation and plasterboard as normal
when it does give you will get something like this hole and yes this is a water tank
but that hole is what you will get if that plastic sheet collects enough water up there as it will just come down with no warning
