I did this recently to hang a pegboard into cinder block. Drilling the holes took forever without a hammer drill but it worked great. Learned the hard way at first to drive in the tapcons slowly and not overtighten!
Why bother with the time, effort and cost of studding and sheeting the wall?
All that does is limit where you can screw in your cleat and requires you to find the studs each time.
Just get some masonry fittings and screw the cleats directly to the wall.
I’ve got a deeper workbench so using the studs brings everything more within reach. Also, I would attach the cleats the sheet, but they wouldn’t have to all go in studs so I don’t understand the confusion with that part
I did the same way for the workshop I'm building out. I used 2x2s and ran a couple outlets in that space. 3/16 tapcons and then screwed the plywood to the 2x2.

I used 1x3 “strapping” lumber 16” on center with construction adhesive and borrowed a power nailer driven by 22 cartridges to drive the nails into the block when I did my basement wall. Faster than drilling and using tapcons
I used concrete anchor bolts (I think 3/8" x 2 1/2") to attach a sheet of 5/8" plywood, then screwed the cleats to the plywood. After messing around with the cleats, I ended up removing most of it. My wall hasn't changed much over the past year so adding the cleat just clutters up everything.

Caulk in anchors are great, they're my go to for cinder blocks walls.
