I think marmox recommend . Drill holes in board at 300 mm centres place dots of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ on holes .fix board to wall and when https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ has gone of drill through dots of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ into wall and fix using a spanker dowel . I have done this and been back to site to do another job and their are no issues with this .

I've only ever used marmox type boards in this situation. Fixing method exactly as above - holes every 300mm, https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ dabs behind each hole then when dry mechanical fixing through the dabs using spanker dowels. Does it have to be hardie?

I did have a job last year where the builder had d&d aquapanel to the wall using plasterboard https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/. It fell off the wall the next day. Luckily I hadn't got round to that room yet!

Spankers ok in Thermolite or would you be better off with resin anchors or at least specific plugs? o_O
