I need to fit the entire ground floor level with Finished (i.e. gloss

Usual problem though is that the walls are uneven so skirting has
varying gaps to the wall, up to about 8mm max. I normally pump in
Caulk or White sealant.

Am I missing something or is there a better or more efficient way.

Nope, that is the best way.

Fix it to the high points and fill any gaps. If you make it follow the
contours of the wall then you just draw the eye to the irregularities in
the wall.

This is clearly subjective.
Personally, if the curves are gentle over a long length, I'd be
parking a couple of heavy toolboxes against it rather than having
lengths with thick caulk filler.
Once you have furniture in the room you will see short sections
with wide filled gaps, but will be unlikely to get into a
position where you can eye along a whole length.
Might depend on size of rooms perhaps.

Fine until someone tiles the floor or fits laminate or a carpet with a
regular pattern ;-)
