Trunk-based development fits nicely when you have a single deployment product like a SaaS and you don't need to maintain old versions of your software. You only have one prod environment.

If you build a software that you distribute so people can deploy it themselves (a library, a self-hostable solution, ...), then you most likely semantic versioning. In that case, the best model is to use what semantic release offers.
