1/2" drywall is approved for 24" on-center, perpendicular to the framing. 99.99% of the jobs I've been on were 16" on-center, and 16" is required for parallel sheets.

24" to 30" would be fine, if every fastener grabs. Assuming this is going over CMU, not solid cast-in-place concrete?

Thank you for your response.

Yes, CMU (and solid in some places). The plans call for 1/2, but I’d like to install 5/8 all around, including ceiling.
