Sorry it doesn't really answer your question but they are options every corner may be slightly different best idea would be to do small test corner

If u use vinyl trim, it can be heated and formed to curve.

If using wood will have to back cut,wet and form around curve. Back cut would be within 3/16'' of face and about 3/8 ''apart.

Try cellular PVC moldings. They are flexible and can be heated to bend further

I mitre the long pieces of baseboard at 22.5 degrees, and then cut a very short piece with 22.5 degrees at each side to fit in between. It's a pretty good approximation of a round corner.

If you're painting them, use a filler to fill in the small gaps.
