No, this is unnecessary and not a good idea.

Also, you can get this moved into your own thread so it will be easier to follow your project.

I'd get it as good as you want it before you start tiling. You can make small corrections as you tile, but get it as good as possible before you start.

Kerapoxy should not be used as a mortar over osb, so either remove osb or cover with a backer or surface applied membrane.

Overall, I have some reservations about using Kerapoxy for this...

Center your 4x10 layout on the framed section. Filling your chair rail before hand is fine, but not necessary. Keep the cuts on the chair rail symmetrical, and I'd try to make them all similar size...

Using a liquid membrane over your hardi (tub deck and walls) is a very workable approach. If you go that route, skip the plastic behind the hardi. Also, not sure how the shower portion of this...
