I see that some places sell it in 4'x4' sheets so you can do a wall grid pattern with no cutting or 1x trim.
EDIT:
I found this on that idea.

The original plan was to use tempered hardboard (aka masonite) for the backdrop. When we got it glued and nailed to the wall we found that it was so uneven that it was impossible to get a smooth surface with even joints. We made the best of it in our smaller cascade room but switched to 1/4" drywall in the main room.

Guess it's just too thin and gets wavy.
Adding 2x blocking between the studs at the horizontal joints would help, but that could be a lot of work and you would still have a thin vulnerable to impact material.
On commercial projects we used MDO plywood typically furred on over a block wall, located on interior walls near loading areas that clients/customers might see. Looked great and durable but expensive.
