For safety factors alone I can't imagine not using one, no matter the weight.
I don't have one for my 04 Jeep Wrangler and my motorhome stops just fine, the tow/haul transmission does very well at adding extra stopping power when towing, however when flat towing my total weight is well under my GCWR..
Most people get it. But, for whatever reason your toad becomes not attached for some unforeseen circumstance, what's going to stop it? So having a extra system to take the load off your MH stopping or braking is a waste of time? Using a auxillary brake won't decrease your stopping distance if needed? Sorry not buying into there's no benefit. It doesn't matter if legal or not. Common sense is what it is.
