If you prefer to build your homes with with 1/2" white board on the ceilings, that's fine and within code.
I'll build mine with 5/8" blue board.

I guess we have a differences of opinion, i'll do it my way and you do it your way.
I have better luck with my way.
I also think there are multiply variables in different areas and different insulation barriers and attic thermo barriers involved.
Good luck my friend and i hope your way works.
I am not sure if the blue board is the answer, but i agree it is better.
I don't share your same opinion on mesh tape as long as its done correctly i believe mesh tape is better.
stay well.
