Plywood has been around for thousands of years, and its modern form for 150ish. You get a lot of bang for your buck with plywood because you can use relatively poor quality lumber to make it just fine. Without the dimensional stability and reliability of plywood, I don't know if a modular system could work well enough.

Thousands of years?

Ancient egyptians and greeks used plywood.

More ancient does not equal more sustainable.

Nobody said anything about sustainability.

Existing/traditional modular systems would be wattle and daub. They last hundreds of years if well maintained.
