I would say yes. Isn't this primarily a string function?
How about a #:repeated? argument that defaults to #t?

The question you need to ask is whether you want string-trim to be usable by
someone who is not familiar with our syntax (or any syntax) of regexp, which is
an embedded sublanguage with a definitely complex and somewhat obscure syntax.

Did you consider an optional argument to string-trim?
Yes, but it seems that if you're moving from
(string-trim "stuff" " ")
to some
(string-trim "stuff" " " #:repeated? #t)
then you could just as well go with
(string-trim "stuff" #rx" +")
instead. IOW, a keyword is possible, but doesn't seem useful given
that the intention is for this to be a function that is simple and/or
convenient.
