Plinth deeper than the frame. How to make it look nice?
Creates an ugly edge when attaching the baseboards. How would you make it look nicer? The frame is less deep than the baseboard.

Skurkloss is a convenient solution. However, on the molding, it doesn't seem like it's the style of the house otherwise. You could also try cutting the front part of the trim at an angle (touch-up painting will be needed).
If I had been forced to mount a coarse allmoge list with thin smooth moldings, I would have tried mitering 22.5°x2 or 30°x2, gluing it in place, and making it look like the trim folds into the molding.

There are at least two options,
The door trim ends against the top edge of the skirting (the skirting goes at least up to the trim).
Floor block, which both the skirting and trim end against.
Both options are shown in the following thread,

Skurkloss won't be used. Then I would also have to remove a part of the frame.Karrock said:

If I were forced to install a coarse allmogelist with thin flat trims, I would have tried miterring 22.5°x2 or 30°x2, glue, and make it seem like the molding folds into the trim.
I didn't quite understand the first option...Demmpa said:
No, you place the block on the outside of the frame, just like the trim.M Förstagångsköparen said:
The block is thicker than trim/list since both trim and list should go against the block.
Or do you not have any trim around the frame? I assumed there was trim over the frame in the picture and not just a solid frame.
It can, at least if it had been a smooth molding, turn out really well if you just chamfer the corner at 45 degrees with a belt sander and then paint. Don't know how it looks if you do it with an allmogelist though.
cutting the door trim and installing a plinth block is the easiest. But not aesthetically pleasing.
Personally, I would have replaced the baseboard. The old trim looks like a plain functional trim, so why mix in some modern "fake classic"? Even with a plinth block, it will look strange.
The baseboard doesn't appear to be cut at a right angle. It is a prerequisite for a good connection to the plinth block.
