I turned into the right lane on the perpendicular street, and the cars behind me turned into the left lane and passed me after the turn.
Not once did I even consider filtering ahead here. Wouldn't feel safe doing so, especially not with a trailer.

Yeah I would totally filter that; in the situation that the light is red, and all the cars are sitting waiting, I would weave between bigger gaps between stopped cars to get across then filter up the paint to stop with at least half my bike forward of the white line.
With a trailer though, I would not be confident that I could make tight turns between cars and would just play it safe, go forward to the far side of the intersection and wait for the cross-light.
