In older homes like these, the main remodeling goal is often a more welcoming, more social, and more functional kitchen.

You're talking about the triangular section that "isn't there" on the back of most cove molding? That's primarily to conserve materials, but also to lighten the pieces, reduce curling/cracking, and avoid problems with slightly-rounded ceiling corners. No special angle, unless you're using angled blocks behind to support the stuff.
Just match what is there. If it is 45 degrees, cut it 45 degrees.
