...As for not "rocket surgery" ...
No there is no such thing as perfect or ideal. As for not "rocket surgery" I'm not sure about that from the amount of thread time trim gets on SB and the apparent speciality classes devoted to achieving just that.

"become one with the particulate matter"
I completely get the Zen aspect that you are describing. And could not agree more with other posters that precise buoyancy control is a core skill that all dives should strive for and when combined with trim is a thing of beauty. But, to me, it seems that trim itself, not buoyancy, is more a matter a consistent gear configuration and weight distribution (and perhaps a controlled environment) then a learned physical skill.
