I just read the first link (adding the others to my reading backlog), based on it it seems like trunk based development is less of a development model and more of a release model. Especially it does not seem to conflict directly with feature branch model.

Perhaps partly. But Paul also mentions "Developers do not break the build with any commit" -- that places a pretty heavy constraint upon regular development outside of releases.

See also got-dmz or atlassian bamboo's gatekeeper feature. Team city has something similar too. Surprised the guy who wrote bors hadn't seen more examples, I have seen the idea come up over and over again (and strongly support it).

Sorry for the typo, I meant Git-DMZ. Damned auto-incorrect.
