Need advice on VJ panelling a sunroom (rendered brick)

I'm converting an old sunroom (1930's semi-detached) to a nursery, but there are these hideous recesses in the walls. I want to use VJ panels to cover them and give the room more of an internal feel (more like wainscotting, just up to the base of the window with some skirting). The product guidelines said to install some wooden battens on any brick/block walls before attaching the panels, this is to create airflow and avoid condensation. But with these recesses, do you think it'd be ok to just liquid nails the panels straight on? Surely the existing holes will create airflow and I can just use the available surface area to glue the panels on? Or is it safer to use battens? It's already such a small room, I don't want to lose anymore space if I can.
