Depends how happy you are with the finish. If it were me & the drywall didn't need replaced then a double skim would give a great finish
Mud multi finish

Question: how did you get popcorn on your ceiling? And how did the popcorn actually stain the ceiling?

I heard older popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos. Whether it does or not ventilation and a mask may be recommended. I had it removed in most of my house and they tented the rooms as well.

It's a minimal amount but always best to use a mask & get a scraper with a broom handle as it puts more distance between u and the popcorn,artex
