The external coating is only FBE. no concrete.
I would reckon damage to pipe is acceptable to some levels as long as no major rapture that would pose hazard risk to the working equipment or personnel.
Reverse J-lay or reel lay would operationally work.
The only issue is the installation...
Guys - Appreciate your replies. Here are more details and responses.

To me, a point of concern is at overbend region of the pipe string i.e. last barge roller and/or stinger...
Hi All,
I'm currently in a project where a client chooses to decommission pipeline by reverse s-lay method.
I personally have exp in conventional rigid pipelay using s-lay method where a lay barge equipped with tensioner(s) and stinger is utilized.
Nothing fancy for start up/normal lay/laydown...
