Now I got to sort their mess out or otherwise the customer will think I can’t even cut straight.
Above the sink the trim is touching the ceiling and a meter to the left and I can fit my fingers between them.

Well there’s your problem! Unless you’re prepared to skim coat and flatten the ceiling, you’ve got to scribe your trim to it (and even then the result will be “less bad,” not “good”). Straight won’t work!
You can’t do trim on trim because it’s too much ornamentation for those modernist cabinets.
This is a perfect example of what folks often don’t understand about modernism: they think it should be cheap because it has simple shapes without fancy ornamentation, but they don’t realize the ornamentation hides all the crimes. To do modernism right you have to have precision instead, and that actually costs more than fancy trim.
Frankly, the drywaller needs to be called back in, because he didn’t understand the assignment.
would another scribed trim like a shoe work? it’ll thicken the trim above the cabinets, but be the scribable piece.
A shoe molding is thin enough that it could bend to follow the ceiling contour and wouldn’t need to be scribed (which is the point of it). It would effectively hide the imprecision, but it would diminish the modernist aesthetic.
true. i am new to moulding. it is fascinating to me - the history and different camps. :)
Lots of the time scribed material looks worse than a gap. I agree, bring back the guy to fix it
