I would recommend against that. The cedar will expand and contract with moisture unless completely encapsulated probably causing the glue joints to fail eventually. Successfully gluing anything to foam means maximizing the gluing surface area.
If you are going to fiberglass, I take a look at thin marine ply. I can get 3mm Meranti or Okume over here and they are both beautiful under fiberglass.
20mm foam might be good enough if your lamination is top notch. We're probably talking vacuum bagging on a really flat work table.

type of glue used, there may still be need to use clamping regardless of
batten or none. Standard wood glue will stick to prepped foam with a
longer curing time.
Actual best approach is more dependent on how you are attaching your
outside skin?
