FWIW I have been using the Gnus trunk for over ten years now (closing on twelve, I think), and except for when lars were rolling releases, there has never been a time with bleeding edge work hasn't been ok to do on the trunk. If you are going to do big changes, it's much better to let them loose on a bunch of testers as early as possible, instead of sitting with them on a branch just testing them yourself, and then committing them big-bang to the trunk.
