The pricing makes me concerned though, I have to email about the enterprise plan to try this out on a private repo, and it’s extremely unclear what sort of ballpark this is going to cost me.
I am also concerned that it’s hard to see a path from “install a bunch of linters” to “VC gets their exit”, which doesn’t give me a lot of confidence to incorporate this into important projects
Even for ecosystems that do have tool dep pinning, folks are missing out because the linters/formatters you should be running aren't necessarily part of the language ecosystem you use. For example, you probably have shell scripts that should run shfmt and shellcheck, which aren't on npm, even if you otherwise use javascript.
Trunk is young, but we'll become the one stop shop for the full development experience of highly productive scalable repos: linting, formatting, code coverage, merge automation, test analytics, running/selecting tests, and more. What we've seen is companies & projects repeatedly recreating bad versions of this stuff in house - which leads to bad dev experience and is a waste of time & money.
