we had fake wood panelling, and we renovated them by taking them off and sending them to the tip. one plaster wall got damaged and so we replaced that, but the others were just able to be sanded and bogged and painted.
We did 2 things. Firstly tried to fill the gaps with spakfilla and then paint over the top. Didn't look too bad. Another section we didn't worry and just painted over the top, which I think looks better because it's 'cleaner' I.e
doesn't look like we've tried to hide the panelling. If you go with the spakfilla option, do small area at a time and finish off well. And sand back.
Depends on your house, I think when prepared well and painted can look nice - very beachy actually which suits houses here where we are but depends where you are! IN our old house we took them off and had to replace plaster on one wall. Is it just one room or lots of it??
