I could build the curve out of flashing and "great stuff" behind it,
that would take a good quantity of foam though.


I'd think a mortared cove would be better.


The cove doesn't have to have a big radius. The objective is to
provide enough of a radius to allow the flooring to make a smooth
transition onto the wall, avoid a sharp corner which would eventually
crack, and to avoid having a tough-to-clean corner.

Mortar or thinset struck off with a screed cut to the proper radius is
an easy way to achieve the correct curvature.
