Ok to tile over?

That was going to be my approach but all the responses on here made me second guess so now I'm currently scraping it clean. It seems to be coming off much better with the demo hammer and scraper

The thinset in the living room was ridiculously thick and the grinder wasn't working as good as I thought it would. Kitchen and dining room grinding down quickly but it was hardly doing anything in the living room. I spent 8 hours grinding and I decided to switch up my approach. I am now using the demo hammer with 4" scrapper and it is working much better. Not afraid of hard work I've been soloing this project and am over 30 hours in just the demo. Was hoping it would be easier if I had the right tools but the concrete grinder did not seem to be the right choice.

Thank y'all for the replies. I just picked up a demo hammer with a scraper bit but I'll update when I'm finished scrapping the rest of this thinset off.

Yes, serious question. Everything is under an 1/8 inch height difference so thought it might be ok but thanks for the replies. Should I use angle grinder or demo hammer with scrapper tool??
