The manual states trickle(110v) charging isn't recommended as the primary source, but I didn't see any details regarding how much total time using 110v is too much.
How much trickle charging would be too much in combination with a L2 charger?
Thanks in advance.

Do all you like. The only reason they don't recommend it as the primary source is they think it's so slow you'll be dissatisfied with the car. It won't hurt anything.
Besides the slow speed, the only other disadvantages are 1) inconvenience of unpacking and repacking the L1 EVSE every day, or the risk of being without it some time you need it away from home if you just leave it in the garage; and 2) slightly worse charging efficiency so you'll use a little more electricity from the wall to put the same electricity into the battery.
