There's no 8k limit with triggers? Could you expect on what you mean by that? One of the motivating factors for not using triggers is that the implied overhead is very significant. By logging changes separately which triggers the write volume is roughly doubled, and the overhead of insertions is much much higher (a lot of fast/bulk path can't be used, the trigger processing needs to be performed).
