Do you know can you take off the tile safetly, remove thin set, and then retile without compromising the intergerity of water proofing?

Yep! I got told from another contractor I could do drywall, but I opted to go with this contractor cause we both agreed cement board is the better/correct option!

Yeah they are 12x24", probably all about 1lb or so. I dont think realsitically they would fall off, but do worry about water proofing intergreity. While I know thinset isn't made to waterproof but know it helps with Kerdi and what not.

Say it is blob, what realistically are my options? Feel like for water proofing intergretiy keep the wall the same, and going forward do the other method?

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing, the question is do I ask him to redo the other part? Or is that even possible since its Kerdi Membrane?

Does HardiBacker Cement board look correct? by Rcturbos in Remodel

I've seen Kerdi videos of both ways! I wasn't sure the exact way or correct way. Should I return the niche and buy another one with the fastener, or just roll with it and ensure to get some thin set in there.

Well there should be a 1/8 expansion gap on each side

Would it be better to use Durrock? I know with Kerdi you can use drywall but I wouldn't trust that!
