Today, there is a completely normal option to level the walls without putty - glue thin wall drywall. It turns out at a price no more than putty and the walls are perfectly smooth! In the future, such a wall is suitable for any finishing option!

In any case, I would putty the walls before sticking the wallpaper, even the thickest wallpaper will not be able to hide the unevenness of the plaster layer. Judging by the question, no one completely leveled the walls, much less polished them. And for the future, a surface with minimal layer differences will come in handy, the wallpaper will not necessarily always be on the wall, later the owners may want to just paint the walls.
