I don't know if this would work for you. But,,, I once just used 1/2 inch plywood to, Cover, and not replace a bad floor.
By doing this I was able to just go around cabinets and things like that and not replace the floor under them (where it was in good shape anyway).
I found that the little half round aluminum piece on the inside of the entry door was exactly 1/2 inch thick so I did not have to move the entry door. After covering the floor with new plywood the bottom of the door was now flush with the floor instead of the little kick up that it used to have. (I did not explain that very well but if you look at the inside of your entry door at the bottom I think you will see what I'm talking about. )
The rest of the drawers and cabinets doors were high enough to clear the new floor. The only thing I had to do was remove, and cut, a little off of the bathroom door to give it extra clearance.
I then went to the home center and bought some of those square glue on vinyl plank flooring and covered up all the plywood with them. It looked nice when I was done.
Worked fine for me and no one ever knew. But, I'm a caveman.
