Pretty much, strip it, then 2 coats of 3-1 pva in the voids, bond out to flat. Then another 2 coats 3-1 PVA and skim. Bit of scrim over any big cracks for good measure.
I'd not worry about the angle bead honestly.
I'm on a similar project currently. 1901 build and the walls are trash under the paper - bits coming off the lath and all sorts, a good plasterer can skim a reasonably uneven wall but it's the big variations and the voids you need to bond out to flat - anything over about 5mm
