1ST, WHAT MATERIAL DO WISH TO INSTALL, YOOU HAVE MANY OPTION'S, STUCCO, WOOD PLANKING ?
You can use any kind of material up there. Plywood, planks, tongue and groove boards, etc. Yes some of the joists look warped. Use 1X2 firing strips screwed to the bottom of the joists to level them. Use a level and shims between the 1X2's and joist to level everything. Then put up whatever you choose.
Tin tiles would look nice...or copper
Sheet of bead board would be easy and nice. or lower cost you could do it with pallet wood.
That would be gorgeous! First I need to level out the joists...
The steel is used if there happens to be structural problems. Gives strength and support rather than a complete demo. The 1x2's are easier to work with and easier to level joist, floors, and plumb warped studs.
Get some free wood pallets and use the boards, stain or paint them
