you are way off base and wrong.
It isn't a moisture area like in a shower.
Also paper tape doesn't hold up like a mesh tape.
It comes down to what mud mix you use and the time between coats.
And third the thickness of mud and change of temperature.
I believe Insulated ceiling will have less cracks then non insulated due to the Rapid temperature change.
Also not having a stud behind a joint is a NO NO!!!
My opinion comes from 40 years of building HOMES!
