In Western Canada that's what most masons use to wrap a house with.The mortar walls become quite strong at 3/4" plus with that mesh.They use the one that has a "step" in the wire which sets it from the wall 3/16".I buy it here in Toronto and use it mostly for mortar beds but have used it for mud walls too.A few of thenm were exterior jobs.Good stuff.

Although for a shower ,over drywall, I use the lath.Easier to handle a few sheets than a big roll that's hard to unwind.
