But it still has to be a keystore. KeyStore is designed into SSL's TrustManagerFactory. JSSE has system properties javax.net.ssl.trustStore* pointing to it specifying file name, keystore type, and password. If we really use a PEM bundle, we might need to define a new keystore type "x509" or "pem". It's certainly cert-only, it might or might not be read-only. For the same reason I described in the CSR, it probably should be loadable by KeyStore.getInstance("JKS").
I can do some experiment. This won't go into JDK 13 anyway so there is time to discuss.
