Any mistake will show up over time. That suggestion by another villager to cover the joint with molding is a common use for molding-to cover and disguise problems. Today people find traditional cover ups attractive-such as crown molding which was in the past used t disguise the impossible to achieve perfect ceiling to wall joint with REAL traditional plaster.

Not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Vinyl will move far less than wood. If, you will need to apply wide WOOD you will need to allow it to move. If it is securely fastened on both sides of a wide trim board, when it shrinks in dry weather, something has to give. The wood might split lengthwise.
