That clearly is a XY problem - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem :-)
Of course ffmpeg can trim without reencoding. Basically using "-c copy"
does the trick but you might want to read more documentation to specify
e.g. which tracks will end-up in the output file.
And you can use -t (or -to) to drop the end of the file.
