Does anybody actually use trunk based development in their company?
I've heard it thrown around in professional circles and how everybody's doing it wrong, so.. who actually does use it?
For smaller teams

"scaled" trunk based development

Not saying anything about good or bad, but trunk-based development doesn't work when the business requires you to have multiple releases under development concurrently.
In TBD, it's not a "release" until its production ready. The methodology and philosophy doesn't prevent you from developing multiple feature branches at once or even deploying a work in progress feature branch to a dev environment.
All TBD requires in that case is once the feature branch is production ready, it's merged to the trunk. You may need to add a feature toggle if there are multiple release like for different architectures. And you also might benefit from using git tags and deploying to production from a git tag instead of the most recent commit on a branch.
Exactly what you need to do is going to depend on the project's exact needs but TBD is totally possible in that example.
