I have never tried trunk on OBSD, and maybe I am miss reading the
manual, but even with failover mode you should be careful from having
a link connected to a switch which it's uplinks are disconnected from
the core.

Broadcom and Intel usually provide NIC teaming drivers for
Linux/Windows which prob the path. Since I don't thing that trunk is
doing so, I would recommend to use a switch which brings down
downlinks if the uplink is down or maybe you can emulate this with
ifstated.

Any decent switch should have this feature:

Make sure your switch is configured when using trunk or any other port
teaming feature, even if you do have some kind of path probing.
