Toupret Fibacryl might last. It is a tricky area to prevent cracks.
If you were painting the whole lot white you could use some fine scrim from Toupret to bridge the gap too. That works well between the top of the skirting and the wall.

Perhaps knock in some 4mm pine stripwood ?

May just some thin beading would be a better solution. Attached to just one end to allow movement.

I too am currently stripping and sanding some stairs, having removed a hideous carpet.
The risers will be painted in white satinwood, the treads are gonna get a coat of Osmo anti slip oil.
But what would be the best thing to fill the gaps between the risers and treads with?
I've got some Osmo pine wood filler which I'll fill nail holes and gouges in the treads with, but i think if I used it in the gaps it would crack as the stairs flex in use. Maybe decorators caulk? I'm guessing it will look less weird in white, to match the risers, rather than pine, to match the treads?
Nothing. Resurface it and leave the gaps. It'll never look good. Leave it.

I bought some of the Soudal Fix-all for the same purpose but I've not tried it yet. Not helpful I know but it is supposed to be versatile and flexible.
