Several different products you can use to for gaps between different substrates. I use Toupret Fibacryl on top of a normal hard filler with foam strips backing that in larger gaps.
There's not one answer to your question and if you have a big box of materials to choose from you can get great results. A simple answer is caulk though, it shouldn't need to be waterproof but as you point out there's condensation around window areas.
I've found over time that very little works for more than a few years. Fibacryl on the specialised scrim works very well on skirting, especially stair skirting but it's a bitch to apply.

Yeah at time of buying couldn’t justify having a gun. Trying to weigh up the future use but I might as well get one now.
The strips look like a good idea. No mess neither. I assume you cut to length and stuff in gap?
Here are some pictures (excuse the poor finish of my lining
You can see the black mould - so at the moment I’m trying to elimate issues with the windows. Downstairs bay is much worst is terms of area of cover. But upstairs could do with taking out and insulating so another project to do on my list. Plus the double glazing is probably quite old. There’s no trickle vents on them and some of the vent for the chimney was wallpapered over which I’ve opened up and fitted a vent cover.
