I have a 1950's house where, in wet areas like shower stalls, the original mortar behind the tiles is 1 1/2'to 2' thick. I had to remove one side of a stall and need to replace it (it mighty be a little leaky otherwise :)).
Question is, to shim out the wall so the tile correctly meets in the corners and on the pan, should I just use a full sheet of 1/2'+ plywood behind the cement board, directly onto the studs, or just strips of plywood on the studs, or some other solution?

You should build out the framing with... more framing. Either sister studs at the correct projection depth, or cut furring strips. Fitting full sheets as filler is a waste of time and materials.
