Well, if the towing situation goes from whatever you said, just fine, to horrible with the buggy loaded in forwards, the only way to even guesstimate what the next move is, is to know the weights.
That's alot coming from me, never weighed a trailer or trailer tongue in my life and towed hundreds of different trailers, maybe 1000.
You need to experiment a bit as well before jumping into a potential solution, IMO.
But if the tongue is so light that it won't pull straight with the buggy in forwards, then I doubt the GN convo will be the answer. It will add some weight, but by stretching the tongue out, you'll lose a smidge of the original weight and won't see all of the 350lb device weight, so mathematically, I'd say maybe it will add 250-300lbs max to the pin.
With your axle placement and heavy tail wagging the dog, you may need to ballast the front or move the axles.
Curiously, the pic like I said looks like the axles are a bit fwd of a typical bp hauler, but I did a quick scale comparison of your pic and my old trailer on blubeam and your axles are about the same spot from Tounge to tail.
However that really doesn't matter. You've already talked about heavy stuff aft of the axles. I really think it's going to take some trailer mods or significant ballast up front.
