that should not be a concern on a trident. they typically don't have smooth bark except when young, and they typically exfoliate. I would be less worried about that than disproportionately fat lower branches.
The key is to do what works best for the person doing the work in the growing conditions that the tree is maintained in.
Whatever you do, have fun doing it, and learn from doing it.
