It seems to me that the ZIL is not like a filesystem (where data is continually allocated and freed) and it should be expected to appear to write to the same regions over and over. The FLASH should do wear-leveling as erase areas start to wear out due to the number of writes.

Doing a trim of the ZIL might be counter-productive. Doing a trim of normal pool disks makes a lot more sense.
