I think it would be cool for elites to have the chance to drop more than just gold from a trinket.
At higher NGs, they seem to take forever to kill, so the effort for doing so should be better rewarded.
Consider having them drop some enchanting materials, or possibly a skill orb, as a reward for it. The drop rate, and mechanism, I will leave up for smarter people to come up with.

The rate would have to be pretty low due to the huge number of elites per map, but adding drops to enemies again should help shift away from the "skipping" meta which is probably a good thing lol

I think dropping skill orbs or trinkets themselves is far to strong. But using this idea i'd suggest they should remove the equipment chests all together. You have the trader at the start in case you need catch up gear. An RNG system for equipment being dropped by elites would replace the chests allowing for more trinket chests so you feel powerful while still retaining the ability to get gear by just playing but players who don't need equipment can choose to skip them and not get the chance.

It was a mechanic in the first game for mini-bosses/elites to drop a trinkets, so the idea isn't exactly original. There were a ton more "meh" trinkets though, so it wasn't always run-breaking levels of power obtained.
It could also possibly be balanced with coding it so that it can only happen a set number of times per floor, dependant on NG level of the current run.
