re running fstrim in a vm.
The Host system takes care of it
I guess you've no idea what iscsi is. Because this makes no sense at
all. systemd or no systemd. The physical disk doesn't have to be
something the host system knows anything about.
Here's a thread of someone wanting to do fstrim from a vm with iscsi
mounted disks.

And another page suggesting you should.

8.10.2. Trim/Discard It is good practice to run fstrim (discard)
regularly on VMs and containers. This releases data blocks that the
filesystem isn't using anymore. It reduces data usage and resource load.
Most modern operating systems issue such discard commands to their disks
regularly. You only need to ensure that the Virtual Machines enable the
disk discard option.
I would guess that if you use sparse file backed storage to a vm you'd
want the vm to run fstrim too but this isn't a setup I've ever used so
perhaps it's nonsense.
Never mind, arguing with me will not solve your issue.
