I haven't noticed any extra drain. It doesn't use GPS constantly to watch .. just periodic checks. That is why if I get home and it hasn't seen I'm home yet I do something to ping GPS and it'll notice.I tried using the feature on my previous phone the s7 edge and it was hit and miss wether it'd work.
I read somewhere a person dropped extra pins on google maps to improve accuracy.
I'm also not sure how much extra resources and battery this feature uses.
Well you can't be Mod Team Lead .. that is my job !! .

I got an email about being trusted member but thought it was spam email. It's it legit?

Thing is I'd rather the phone did it's thing without me having to invoke anything.
It usually will since it periodically updates.
The thing is you say you don't want battery drain .. But want it to be always perfect .. You can't have both . One messes with the other. To be accurate 24/7 the GPS would have to just sit on the entire time to ensure where you are at all times.
I never use smart lock. I want my device secured at all times. I have precious banking apps I don't need anybody else monkeying around with.
I very much like and use Smart Lock as well, but I hate when it locks at a location that should be trusted. I must have about 50 dropped pins around my house and work.
The thing I REALLY want is trusted WiFi networks. Ergo, when I am at home or work and on their WiFi, no lock. THAT should be a thing.
I use an app called Fingerprint Security that you can add an app to that requires fps to unlock an app even though you may be in a smart lock area that leaves hour phone open. For example, if my phone is open at home and is unlocked and I want to check our investments I still have to use my fingerprint to unlock the app. It's an added layer of security and it works very well.If your banking app doesn't require a fingerprint when opening then you need to change banks.

This is such a great feature. Find it in settings, then lock screen security, then smart lock.
In a nutshell it will keep your phone unlocked in places you trust.
For me, I have my work address setup so now I never have to unlock my phone while im in the office. Also setup to link to my car's wifi so whenever I am in my car I don't have to unlock my phone which gets annoying.
AMAZING.

You can set it for trusted device, e.g., a particular Wi-Fi or Bluetooth device, rather than location.I very much like and use Smart Lock as well, but I hate when it locks at a location that should be trusted. I must have about 50 dropped pins around my house and work.
