Bathroom remodeling hacks in here!!

So I have a basement bathroom with a small shower stall in it.  Your basic 3 sided stall with a plastic tub in the bottom.  It had formica on the three walls.  That is ripped out and behind it is, as you would expect drywall.

I am tiling it.  Nice tile, want it to look nice and last. The walls will be tiled floor to ceiling.

BUT, this shower will not be used very often.  Hardly at all as a matter of fact.

Do I really have to rip that drywall out and put in backer board?

I will if I have to, but would rather avoid that PITA. Our house is nice, but it is no mansion or a big deal.  Just want a decent finished shower there.

Having just ripped out a tub in our new house. I did it the right way. and rehung it. Then my wife and aunt picked out 3"x6" subway tiles and 2lines of 3"x6" accent stripes. I had 25 hours in the tub alone. granted it was my first time and i was learning..
