I'd say "Go for it," after careful measurement of course! Riv's practically beg for experimentation. I change my Homer around all the time. I just changed my AHH fork out for the simpleone fork that Riv was selling to get canti brakes / Nitto M12 rack up front, which actually increased my trail. The simpleone fork has a 47.5mm rake, where the AHH fork has a 52mm rake, so trail is increased by 4.5mm, to about 68.
This is only my experience with changing trail on a bike, and my verdict is that I can't tell AT ALL. Its fine, its stable, it rides like a Riv. I even use a large Acorn Rando bag up front. High trail + front load, over about 7mph feels fine. Super low speed, the front end is more wobbly. I've even though about cold-set re-raking the fork to lower the trail a bit and get rid of TCO, but I'm not sure its worth it.
