Wooden floors, plaster walls and no skirting boards?
The floor will be a 3-strip 14mm parquet and walls with gypsum as the surface layer. What are the solutions to completely avoid baseboards?
The only function of the baseboard is really to cover the gap between the floor and the wall and to have something to run the vacuum cleaner nozzle against, right?

I guess it's fine to "place" the drywall panels on top of the floor. A somewhat unusual solution I would think, but it should work. So you have to lay the floor before you install the drywall on the walls.
The gap is mainly needed in length, so leaving an 8-9 mm gap against the existing wall or framework and then "placing" the plasterboard on top will allow the floor to move lengthwise. However, I don't see how this would work well in practice, but that's another story.
