Covering painted plywood porch ceiling with vinyl etc?

I have a 50's ranch and the front porch ceiling is made of plywood. It's looking rough. Small porch btw. Instead of scraping, sanding, painting can I just cover with a vinyl or pvc beadboard or planks etc? Any issues with doing that? I think it'll look better plus be maintaince free.

No issues. Roll with it.

To be safe, make sure to mark where your ceiling joists are and maybe pop chalk lines so you can nail the new stuff to something more solid than just into the plywood so it holds better.
Other than that, go for it.

My front porch is plywood covered. I put vinyl siding over that because I got tired of the maintenance on the wood. One thing I'd recommend is to put the siding up with pan head wood screws. It will be much easier to take down, should you ever need too. Also putting the siding up with nails can weaken/damage the older nails in the plywood. Using screw won't.

Covered our with old tin that had cool patina look.

Shoot some strips of wood, keeps a little air space between vinyl and plywood. You can shoot the strips, following the ceiling joists.
