George, you can use a paint on membrane as a pan liner and install your mud bed over it using the drain you have. I agree that since you have a curved curb, the paint on membrane would be easier....

Most of us have seen tiles crack directly over CBU joints, mostly on floors but occasionally on walls too. With the 3701 bonded to the substrate without lath, I wonder if the mud and tile would crack...
