If so it would probably be easier to leave that and float and finish drywall mud over the texture.

This is the proper way to handle this in my opinion. That is just a rough texture on the ceilings and the mess involved with trying to remove it is not worth it. Plus, once you remove it if that is the way you want to attack it, there will still need to be a lot of floating new mud on the ceilings to smooth it out.

Cut to the chase and just have a good sheetrock finisher come in and float the ceilings, then paint and be done with it. Much less mess, WAY less dust.
