I'm pulling up carpet tack from a concrete basement floor using the techniques in these videos: vid1, vid2... the technique isn't perfect and I'm still getting the small divots here and there. How concerned should I be about those divots if I'm aiming to put vinyl flooring down eventually? Do the divots definitely have to be filled before laying down flooring?

1The guy in the first video says "that's a size I don't have to fill before I put the floor down"... Are you actually laying sheet vinyl, or are you putting down laminate wood flooring? If vinyl, are you planning on any underlayment? A thin, flexible vinyl may show that divot, especially over time. A wood floor or solid underlayment would span it with no issue.– FreeManMay 22, 2020 at 16:47

You cannot avoid a divot when pulling nails out of concrete small divots I use epoxy filler larger or a large number I use a self leveling compound or hydraulic cement. Vinyl flooring will show divots so they need to be filled.
