Hello,

In mine country wainscot is not so popular like in USA. Ours building
norm order ventilation slot between wood and wall to prevent moisture.
I afraid this solution becasue in main opinion growing risk of vermin
in that slot. Based on yours experience, is moisture a real risk if I
will glue wainscot to concrete wall (outer isolated) ?

With greetings, Filo.

Leave a 1/2" gap between the wainscot and the wall. Use a cement
paint sealer such as UGL to seal the wall before covering it. Of
course if there is any clue of water seepage, deal with that problem
first.
