As a rule a new alcove tub is a total redo. Just how it works.

Seems to be the case. Can’t follow manufacturer installation instructions with no furring strips on the studs and flush mounted cement board. Looks like surround needs to come out, furring strips and some kinda new fangled barrier installed, then redo tile. Any suggestions on a “system” or board type? I’ve seen the German one before on YouTube, pretty sure all these videos are paid for so I don’t exactly trust it as impartial.
