Personally i would overboard it with plasterboard and then skim. That way you'll prevent/reduce future re-cracking.
It will be warmer too.

Had a loft conversion a few years ago and the disturbance caused the plaster to break off the lathes, it was only the paper holding the ceiling up. Just pulled the lot down, plaster-boarded and skimmed.

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
