And now I find myself looking at the TRR8, it is about the same weight as a 3" 686 but holds an extra round and has light integration which seems like it could be handy for home defense.. We haven't handled a TRR8 though.

While the weight may be similar, the TRR8 is a larger "N" frame with a square grip. The 3" 686 that your wife liked is an "L" frame with a round grip. It will "feel" different, and the larger a gun gets, the less likely she will have it with her in the event of an emergency.
For "her" first gun, it's important that "she" choose what she likes, if you want her to become comfortable and proficient with it, and have it handy if she needs it.
