Install quarter round over vinyl plank or should I install the baseboards directly over the new vinyl plank flooring?

Hello. Just finished spreading out the floor leveler as the concrete subfloor was atrocious. Literally took me 8 days just to get to the leveler part. Anyway, im going to install new baseboards but figured id skip the quarter round and have the new baseboards sit against the floor. However im having second thoughts. Im concerned with down the road if I need to replace damaged vinyl planks or installing a complete new floor. Would it be easier to swap out sections of damaged planks down the road (never know with tenants) if I use the quarter round and not install the planks directly under the baseboards? What about down the road when its time to install an entire new floor again? If I skip the quarter round and install under the baseboards then I would have to remove all baseboards to install new flooring, correct? What are your thoughts? How would you go about these updates? Thanks, most appreciated!
