I'm confused. You talk about height/max-height, and a column flexbox
(vertical lines, whose breaking is affected by the height), but now
you're talking about shrinkwrapping, which affects the width.

Can you break down exactly what your question is?  There's enough
assumptions flying that I can't figure it out.
