To luan or to panel…. that is the question
I am in the process of finishing up a master bathroom remodel. We hired a tile contractor do all of the tiling work for us. I noticed that between the end of the floor tile and one of the walls he filled in an inch gap with grout. As we are going to put wainscot on the wall, I was considering building the wall out with 1/8″ luan.

Sure
But I'd have a talk with the tile "contractor". Unless there's a real goofy layout, there's no excuse to and inch of grout, I don't know the thickness of your wainscot and base and shoe if you use it, which might change my opinion.
The old paneling is fine, unless there's water introduced that would swell masonite or non ext. glued ply (which your laun might not be either) a shim is a shim.
Best of luck.
