I know it has been done. The gaps are just filled in with caulk.

It makesfor an uncomfortable juxtaposition of a traditional design element with a contemporary style. If you're wedded to doing this, I'd shoot for the simplest profile molding I could lay my hands on, assuming that it's not out of keeping with the rest of your home. (Of course, if simple crown molding is not elaborate enough for your home, then the pocorn ceilings are probably already out of place anyway).
One way to avoid having to do so much gap filling is to take a slender taping knife and gently scrape the popcorn texture from the area that will be beneath and behind the molding. Texture is surprisingly easy to remove. This will allow your molding to abut directly on the flat surface of the sheetrock rather than the uneven popcorn surface.
Best of luck.

Even easier than filling the gaps with caulk would be to scrape down the ceiling texture before installing the crown moulding.

It's your home, do what you like. If it looks good to you, go for it. Nothing wrong with popcorn ceilings, it's just the DIY shows talk them down. They are nice to look at and cover a multitude of sins. Decorate how you like, you are the king of your castle.

Yes, it will help make the transition from wall to ceiling less obvious - and they're always a classy touch anyway.

No, spray the ceiling with warm water and scrape off.

Yes. That is how I had my old dining room.
