This is good advise for sure!
With scribing, would practice on some offcuts first of your process, then, stick to the process!
Recently did the worlds most wonky room, floor, walls, everything all over the shop and managed to get the skirting all lined up nice on top and a very consistent 1-2mm gap all around over top of engineered wood floor. Nerve racking though if your using expensive materials!

I'll move to the DIY thread after this. While they only provide just enough trim material, it should be wide enough that I get two cracks at it (my gaps are smaller than expected). Even if that does fuck up, it will be painted so I can just switch to MDF.

You seem to have fairly regular gaps to scribe. Not sure if you have a table saw but that's where I would start. I cut strips that are as wide as the widest part of the gap. I like to put a little angle getting smaller away from the face on the wall side of the piece then it's a little easier to plane where you need to make it smaller.
If you then hold your piece upo against the inside edge of the cabinet and take a block of wood the same width as the cabinet, run that block down the wall marking any movement in the wall onto your scrim piece and use a plane to trim it to that mark. You can fill any small imperfections with filler.
Lots of different ways to fix it in place, none of which I want to describe in public! Just get away with whatever works. Glue on the edges and tapped into place will often do.
You can even tap some pine strips into the gap and plant some plasterboard on top, it's easier to scribe.
