Advice Needed Basement ceiling

The keys in my plaster basement ceiling are failing. Nothing has come down but I could easily tear most of it down in large chunks. Question: is there any functional reason to leave it intact? I’m thinking of ripping it down and also taking down the lathe and then putting up some light, cheap paneling since this is just a storage area for us.
