We don't need to worry because simplify_trig() is Sage Python and we can just put the scan there before the call to Maxima. What's more, Sage symbolic expressions are C++ (the Pynac layer). In an experimental implementation of the ticket https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/24283 scanning the 59-page expression for any of sin/cos/tan/cot/sec/csc takes six milliseconds.
