Going for boons as copper trasher sounds to me like going for knights as an Alt-VP Strategy.

I tried going for Boons as the only trasher twice before I realized that it's a really bad idea. Magically, it worked both times.
(with Pixie, it's not that bad of an idea though)

The Flame’s Gift is totally overrated. You often draw that Boon mid-game where trashing is not as important as in the opening. Sometimes trashing may be even bad. Trashing Copper, for example, means also -$1, which can be crucial later, if you want to hit $6 or $8.

Trade Route, Forager and Moneylender are usually the superior cheap Copper trashers in comparsion with Bard, Druid and Tracker.

The Flame's gift is optional and thus never bad. If it were mandatory, then yes it would be pretty bad; hence why Mountain's and Wind's Gift are far down the list.

Also I struggle to see a scenario where I would prefer Trade Route over Druid with Flame's Gift.

Druid and Tracker don't really thin your deck in the long run because the cycle of 12 Boons includes the forced Silver gain from Mountain's Gift (that doesn't even get drawn by Will o' Wisp normally).

The cycle of 12 Boons isn't relevant to Druid—did you mean Bard?
