With this in mind, I’ll do a small patch with oil based primer and my intended (white-ish) paint color! Thank you for this info, I’ll see how it goes, hopefully it just sticks. This project is a temporary solution until we rip it out and put drywall up, funny how complicated it has turned out lol. I’m learning so much though! Thanks again.

Well, water-based latex will not stick to oil based anything. It will go up and look like it's working. But it won't attached to it. Sherwin Williams has a primer called quick dry that is also stain blocking or even their extreme blocking primer. They're pricier if you're not a contractor. Know one? Ask them if you can use their account.
