Here's a picture of the textured ceiling in one of the guest bedrooms

I assume that is painted? If so it would probably be easier to leave that and float and finish drywall mud over the texture.

A lot of people like smooth finish now but I still like the stomped with knockdown. If done right it looks really good and takes a gloss paint real well

It makes sense that I’d almost rather tear out the Sheetrock and put in new stuff

Ours (built in 1963) had about that same texture.
My drywall guy (who is fantastic) simply skim coated everything. It looks perfect, and we were upgrading (adding) lights to areas and he was able to float those areas at the same time.
Really easy. And there was some dust but he uses a sander that has a vacuum attached that caught most of the dust. We were not living there at the time and he covered all the AC registers\returns and turned off the unit while he was sanding. That keeps the dust from getting into your duck work.
Would do again 100%.
