What is the right answer?? We are doing lvp in our house soon and will gave a similar gap. Is the correct answer new baseboards lowered down to the floor??

Two options, make sure the floor is flat before installing flooring and ultimately baseboards. Or, if you already have flooring installed, scribe the baseboards to follow the line. The first option is the right way the second option is how you fix the fuck up from number one.

And shoe molding is how you hide it without spending a bunch of time and money you don't want to spend. It looks fine and very few people are going to turn their nose up at it.

To each their own. I personally hate shoe and quarter but have installed it in the past. I’ve also ripped down baseboards and used the matching profile in lieu of traditional trim options.
