The first test build of Crucible that featured the thruster trails had drone trails. Not sure why they didn't go through with it in the end.

Probably a casualty of the war on lag. (just a theory, don't know how much of an effect drone trails would have had)

A normal fight in null sec = 400 ships. Each having 5 drones = 2000 trails to be drawn. Yes, that produces lag.

If you're gonna post here thinking your idea is the greatest thing since bacon and that it will save EVE and possibly all humankind with it, you're gonna have a bad time.

A drake has 15 trails, a hobgobin has 1. There's an option to turn to turn off trails in the menu anyway right?

If you're talking about serverside lag (the stuff which makes the game unresponsive and induces TiDi) then no, trails don't cause lag.

I endorse re-adding trails for my little robot bees, make it happen CCP!

Client-side performance isn't really a reason not to bring a visual feature into the game that the user can easily turn off.
I think having drone trails would look interesting.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)
