I wouldn't worry in the first instance about doing a trill that is too long. This will easily get reduced with practice.
And I would definitely say that it is better to persist with this, even if you can currently only do it in some words. Better that than falling back to exclusively using an English 'r' sound.

If people can't understand a particular word I say because I've mangled it beyond comprehensibility, they can always ask me to spell it out for them. So far that has never happened.
Try for the trill - it is the recommended pronunciation, after all - but if you can't make it don't let it discourage you or stress you out. Lots of people manage just fine without it.
