I've always avoided triggers as checking all conditions would be
very expensive, and ISO editors are doing the checking themselves,
which would make other triggers do the work twice.

But on the other hand getting full triggers in place might make it
impossible to break a topology by concurrent editing, which could
be a nice feature to have. Maybe you could have functions to
enable/disable such triggers to do some tests ?
