Usually it should also not be problem with -X because then the client is not trusted (but some distributions change the defaults here because some clients then don't work properly! unfortunately, there is not much interest in fixing this since two decades because X is dead anyway or so)

I've never seen any distributions enable ForwardX11Trusted by default. Do you have any examples? It seems very unlikely to me that a distribution would do this for a relatively niche use case.

Debian does this.
