you do not need CoreRT for trimming. but trimming is already there: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/app-trimming-in-net-5/
it's still a long way to go, tough.
My understanding is the opposite; now that they're planning to merge Mono and CoreCLR, there is significantly more pressure on the .NET team to have a proper AOT solution.
"Early adopters can experiment with native AOT form factor" is a priority-zero (highest priority) epic for .NET 6: https://github.com/dotnet/runtimelab/issues/248

CoreRT was an experiment and it's concluded. The learnings and components like RyuJIT have now been moved to the new project called NativeAOT which has high priority.
I think maybe in 2016? 2018? they were committing a lot to it, probably hoping to make it production ready. Then priorities shifted and they barely advanced and now they moved it into "runtimelab" which doesn't bode well to me.
