>Shit we realized later that HTTP/1.1 did not necessitate trailers because they could abort the connection and we can not afford to do that anymore

This is an interesting point, but I don't think it's correct. The HTTP/2 spec allows you to send a RST_STREAM frame to indicate that an individual stream had a problem. To be contrasted with an END_STREAM frame that indicates an individual stream ended successfully.
