You a best to dry your wood, but it's not as critical for interior walls. The wood will check, but that could be a character feature. You can always fill in the cracks with moss, or clay, or plaster.
If the interior walls are not supporting the roof at all, you can probably go pretty thin, like 6 inches. This would be more likely to be effective if you are really true about your vertical plane being kept plumb, and if you add nice framing and bracing through it it will be much stronger as a unit. Same could be said for the wattle an daub that someone mentioned. You can make W&D really attractive with the right accent pieces purposefully protruding from your plaster-like surface. With either of these, you could have coat hangers, towel racks, and all sorts of shelving come right out as part of the wall. The sky is the limit. Let your artist-self explore the opportunity.
