Well, it doesn't entirely prevent XSRF attacks, so the benefit would
be very minimal.

Furthermore, if we agree that data shouldn't be saved to the db on a
GET request, then the XSRF benefits are the same.

I guess there is a question why
reports/trial_balance.html?from=2009-01-01&to=2009-12-31&ignore_yearend=none
would be any less secure than requiring a post.
