When I look over Peg geometry charts, I notice the fairly low trail numbers, around 54-55mm or so. Do owners find these bikes overly twitchy at all?

Thanks. A Pegoretti Duende or Responsorium has been at the top of my bucket list for quite a while. (Which is somewhat obvious when you look back a few pages and see I've been asking the same questions for a few years now... )
I believe all Pegs are 70mm bb drop, someone correct me if not.

Add 25mm to c-c seattube to get c-t.

Anywhere from 55-65mm is acceptable trail for a race bike. Anything less or more is not as bueno. I like mine under 60mm, not twitchy at all and give you that "telepathic" steering.

I would go for one if you can..zero regrets here.

I don’t ride this nearly enough and sometimes think of selling it, but then I ride it and realize I should be riding it a lot more

Kinda looks like a viewing... as in funeral. They did a very nice job on the makeup. Looks rideable even.

Lugged Peg? Keep it forever. Now, if it were a little smaller, say a 54cm TT? Piece of crap, get rid of it straight away!

Nah. It's obviously too short for you... judged by the position of your saddle, in spite of a generous stem.

Set it free... but PM me first.
