I have years of experience towing with a gooseneck and a regular hitch. What is your question?
BTW: in spite of what you will read here in a short while from the anti gooseneck people, it is no more likely to damage your frame than any other hitch.
You may not have had any issues, but the geometry and physics involved would indicate that it will put a fair amount of stress on the part of the 5th wheel that can least cope with it.
Opinions and facts often don't coincide.
My brother-in-law has done it for several years with his smaller 5th wheel, but I would not recommend it for a large 5th wheel.
