Another thing that came to mind is compatibility with existing applications/clients. You say you have been running using trust and I am betting your client connection parameters reflect that. Now for connections methods that can 'see' the .pgpass file and use libpq as the their underlying Postgres library then things should work. Otherwise your applications may not be able to connect until you supply the correct password in some manner.
That's a concern. My business financial software uses postgres as the backend and a browser UI and I enter my username and password on the login page. It works with auth method trust. I've no idea exactly how it connects to the database. Since it ain't broke I won't futz with it and possibly break it. I've other things with higher priorities.
