I have three systems: Elma, Cheng, and Wordan. Elma has 5 trade routes, Cheng has 3, and Wordan has 3. Both Elma and Cheng have full trade with other systems (5/5 and 3/3 respectively). However, Wordan has 0/3 trade. There are a possible of 11 systems that I can trade with. I also have the trait "Blockade Breakers" which allows me to trade with anyone no matter the diplomatic status. What am I failing to do to get this sytem to start trading?

It looks like I can't trade with the following 3 systems: Dobrynya, Lacerta, and Zauak. Not sure why though.

Are you sure you have sent scouts to these systems? (ie, if you now send a scout to these systems, does trade start?)

Yes. I have full visibility of these systems (and am Hissho). In fact, I had to go through Dobrynya to get to any other system as it is a choke point.

Those friendly systems might not have any open trade routes.

Destination systems do not need open trade routes, unlike other games. Trade profit is (oddly) unidirectional.

I'm guessing that trade is bugged.

There is no bug here, it's just another war between AI.

Those 2 AI are moving around and sometimes blockade each others systems -> that's killing all trade routes, yes, your trade routes too.

Blockade breaker enables trading while at war, but it still doesn't work with blockaded systems.

Just end the turn once and your trade routes are back.

Thank you, Valcione, for that explanation.
