This is a thrifty suggestion for a very handsome wall.
Re the plaster, there are many who suggest primarily gluing to a plaster wall is far less likely to cause problems, because there are only so many studs to screw into, and screwing or nailing into a plaster wall is a nightmare.
Otherwise, follow Johns suggestion or use a 1/4 inch plywood undelaymen’s.
I have a shiplap installation tutorial, if you'd like to check it out. The material that we used was thin and flexible, so I think it would work well over plaster. You may want consider using glue if you are not able to nail into the plaster. http://beautyforasheshome.com/shiplap-for-less/
If you have a power nailer either electric or air powered should not be a problem. You can frame out the walls with 1X2 firing strips. You can use adhesive like Locktite Powergrab and use small finish nails to hold them in place.

While this article refers to panelling (vertical), it definitely refers to plaster walls.
