Let's say you've got a house full of natural wood trim (polyurethane), and
you really want it semi-gloss white. Would you paint it, or just buy new
preprimed trim? If you paint, do you degloss first, or just put on the
primer and then paint over?

I would paint vs replace trim, if trim is in good condition. Way less work.
I use 409 or Fantastic to degrease the trim.
Then apply alcohol based Zinnzer or Bullseye primer.
Follow instructions on primer, to the letter.
Then lightly sand, and finish coat.
For a smooth finish, freer of brush strokes, and lasting quality, I like to
use oil based (alkyd) top coat.
