On external gypsum corners, I always at least put a corner bead before plastering (the kind you moisten and glue on).
I am now going to make a curved corner according to the picture. On the wooden wall, I will use a regular 13 mm gypsum, and on the underside, there will be a 6 mm renovation gypsum, about 100 mm wide. 6 mm is easier to bend.
However, it becomes a delicate edge that I would like to protect. Is there a smart way to do this?
There are self-adhesive corner guards that you can glue on. You could cut a "V" into the molding on one side so you can bend it. Keep the other side intact along the underside. Then you putty the whole thing. It should be stronger than just drywall. And you minimize the risk of cracks. There should be some movement in the staircase.
Corner guards come in various types, with self-adhesive or glue that you dampen.

Exactly, I always use corner protectors as I wrote. Maybe your idea of using V-cuts could work.
