If I have no estate plan at all, where should I start?

With a medical power of attorney. It designates who makes healthcare decisions if you can't, which is the gap with the most immediate consequences.

Why isn't creating a trust enough on its own?

A revocable trust only governs assets titled in its name. If accounts and property are never retitled into the trust, they may still pass through probate despite the trust existing.
