I am paint the bathroom is this 30 YO raised ranch.
A small step above a starter track house, but still a basic raised ranch. It has 3 bedrooms, a hall full bath, 3/4 bath off the MBR, LR, DR, kitchen and living room.
Basic 8 ft ceilings except in the LR it has a 8″ octagon tray.
BUT NOT IN THE HALL BATHROOM.
Basic 8×5 ft bathroom with the tub cross wise to the room and toilet and vanity on one side.
But the ceiling starts at 10 ft over the tub and then goes up to about 16 ft, then about a 2ft flat section at the hall. And a skylight.
I had a 17 ft extendable ladder (LG clone) and could paint the high wall by putting it in extension ladder mode. And a couple of feet on the side walls.
And I painted the 10 ft wall over the tub by havine on side in the tube and extending the ouside leg and straddleing over the shower doors. And a couple of feet on the sidewalls.
Ended up swaping for a 21 ft LG. I was able to get it done, but not comfortably.
And that was fun opening up in extension ladder mode as there was not clear enough space to do it normally. I had to lean it backwards into the open shower door and then flip the other leg up and of course there was no open space for me to stand.
I don’t know how one would do any work on the ceiling or replace the vent fan.
My guess would be to pull the vanity, the toiler, shower doors and then you could build some kind of scafolding.
I have no idea why this was done like that.

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.

To get natural light in the bath. Ive rebuit the skylights in a couple like that around here.
Yes, I have a skylight over my tub. But ab 8 ft ceiling and large shaft.And AFAIK there is no need for such a steep roof (and thus high ceiling). No 2nd story (or halve) or other vaulted areas that require such a high roof..

I probably would have brought in my pair of sawhorses with a couple planks and put the Little Giant up on that.

Where would you have put the saw horses.And the only space for them is roughly 5ft by 2.5.And then there is no way to get in put up the ladder..
