Not so sure I follow everything you laid out here but I'll give it a shot.

Noted as layer #1 is 1/4" plywood? Are you sure it isn't 3/4" plywood? If it's only 1/4" plywood your 2x4 support spacing would need to be like 6" on center. Even then I would place 3/4".

What you're looking for is self leveling concrete. I just used this in my bathroom renovation so I know all about it! They sell it at Lowe's/Home Depot in 50 lb buckets. You'll have to figure out how much you'll need based off of the average depth etc.

Steps are basically:

  1. Clean the area
  2. Tape/seal all areas that may come in contact with concrete
  3. Apply primer
  4. Pour self leveling concrete (pay attention to mixing guides on product but make sure you mix it on the wet side so you don't have to work it as much). When it hardens enough to walk on you may have to work it a bit.
  5. Let it cure
  6. Continue with hardie backer install (mortar and hardibacker).

    If you are using large format tiles on uneven walls/floors I also am using a leveling system to help make sure the tiles don't have lippage. They say that it's to only "help" with imperfect tiles and minor differences, but honestly these things have saved me from some truly crappy uneven surfaces.

    Note that I did my self leveling concrete above the hardibacker. It was only where the shower pan was to be installed though.

    Good luck!

I got mine off amazon. These here are similar, not sure if same seller or “brand” but look identical.
