I'd scrape what I could, skim over it with joint compound, sand and then texture it to match the wall. I couldn't tell from the pic - is the ceiling texture ok?
Prep after removing crown molding
My place has crown molding in every room so I removed it and want to paint the walls and ceilings. It looks like the walls have been painted a few times without removing the molding so there is now a line of paint where the bottom edge of the molding rested. There’s a pretty noticeable lip, probably almost as thick as a dime. I’m guessing from the numerous color changes over the years. How would you smooth that and prep it for paint so that it doesn’t affect the new paint?

Textured ceilings are popular most everywhere. The texture helps to lessen the view of any discrepancies in the ceiling. I like knockdown but detest popcorn - probably because of all the ceilings I've painted over the yrs.
The texture above the caulk/paint line will be gone once you skim with j/c.
