Novice-replacing tiles ensuite

Hello,
Novice DIY tiler here looking for advice please. I'm replacing tiles in very small upstairs ensuite toilet (floor area 2 m squared). They were put direct onto plywood (by another) 15 years ago and have cracked over the years. I'm in process of removing adhesive. Sink and toilet have been removed. Skirting (onto mostly stud walls) wasn't removed during original job.

I was thinking i could install 6mm cement board over existing ply and raise the floor level and raise the fixtures the extra fraction?
Will the layer of adhesive under the cement board make up for any unevenness in the different ply boards?

What are my easier/better options? If i didn't want to increase is my only option to remove existing ply and put down thinner layer along with cement board, which seems like a more hassle.

Also, would people normally go to bother of removing skirting for such a small area?

Thanks
