Hairline cracks are nothing to be worried about as a little sand will get rid. Artex are old ceilings s it's to best to board and skim to prevent the hairline cracks and update the ceiling

Your ceiling won’t cave in if you fill the cracks. They will keep coming back, better off getting the ceiling plastered.
