  1. I think you meant "zero knowledge proofs", not "zero trust proofs". Edit: you definitely meant "homomorphic encryption", not ZKP.

  2. You can maintain privacy by creating an immutable record of cryptographic attestations of data instead of the data itself, at the same time reducing blockchain bloat. The only reason to use a blockchain is when you need an immutable public record of data, and the vast majority of the time this is overkill. I don't need to know that some dude in India taught an AI the recipe for a ham sandwich three years ago, but a shallow understanding of decentralized technology will lead invariably to proposals that would make such a scenario inevitable. If instead you store a 32-byte commitment to the data (e.g. sha256 or sha3_256), nobody in the future will know what the original data was, but anyone with that data could easily verify that it was used at a particular point in time. This is how a new election integrity system is being built in Ecuador iirc.
