Can Q2 plaster be wallpapered with fleece wallpaper?

Raufaser - even the fine kind - remains Raufaser. Better a non-100% fleece wallpaper than a top-quality Raufaser.

We only had Q2 as well. The painter then filled and sanded the "holes" that appear during construction on the interior walls (about 15 hours) and afterwards wallpapered with a slightly thicker fleece (150g) and painted twice. We like it very much and it was significantly cheaper.

I would therefore rather not use the very thin fleeces. The thicker ones also cover smaller holes here and there. Thin fleece, on the other hand, does not forgive anything.

Attached is an example photo of our wall. Please disregard the tape measure and the socket.

Thanks for the photo, that looks great! It also has a slight texture, which I like visually better than completely smooth walls.

Roughcast wallpaper - even the fine kind - is just roughcast wallpaper. I'd rather have a not 100% non-woven wallpaper than a top roughcast wallpaper.

Exactly, I definitely don’t want to wallpaper with roughcast. But I also don’t see anyone (here in the forum or so) who simply wallpapers with a non-woven wallpaper instead of non-woven fleece + painting. And I wonder if that’s not technically possible / an issue, or if it’s just a design question, because for example there’s only a limited choice of colors with non-woven wallpapers.
And I also don’t know if “the plaster can absorb roughcast wallpaper” can be stretched to “the plaster can absorb non-woven wallpaper,” and if not, then I don’t know what to imagine happens / how that looks if I do it anyway.

It depends on what the plasterer understands by Q2.

I have seen many houses where Q2 is good enough to work, especially when the fleece has a texture or pattern. What you should pay attention to are unevennesses. Every splash, every dent then shows up. If necessary, take another close look at every surface and, if required, do partial touch-ups.

More precisely, I definitely do not want to wallpaper with textured wallpaper. But I also don't see anyone (here in the forum or so) who simply wallpapers with non-woven wallpaper instead of fibrous fleece + painting. And I wonder whether that is technically not possible / a problem, or if it’s just a design question because, for example, there is only a limited color selection with non-woven wallpapers. And I also don’t know if “the plaster can absorb textured wallpaper” can be stretched to “the plaster can absorb non-woven wallpaper,” and if not, then I don’t know what I should imagine happens / what it looks like if I do it anyway.

Thank you for investigating the matter so thoroughly. I myself have not understood any of this yet and am learning from your question, which I could not have asked better.

As already mentioned, a well-done Q2 plus non-woven wallpaper and painting can be sufficient.

Since it is a new building, we went straight to Q3 with the idea that if new and finer wallpapers are applied someday, the filling mess is already done.

In ten years, it will be easier in an inhabited house where furniture, etc. is in the way (even if under protective foil) to just wallpaper around it, rather than also filling and sanding from Q2 to Q3, because the wallpaper that will be absolutely necessary then requires it.
