is this in opposition to trunk based development?

Nope, we’re big believers in trunk-based development and see this as a necessary extension of it - when you’re blocked from merging into trunk (e.g. because you’re waiting for your teammates to review your code), we believe you should still be able to continue working on your new feature or refactor, but without continuing to make your PR larger and in turn more time-consuming for your teammates to review.

Stacking makes this all easy by allowing you to make smaller sets of dependent PRs so you can stay unblocked and merge into trunk more often.
