You clearly don't understand the reasons and math behind the need, or not need, for a WD hitch. The primary reason for WD is to put weight back on the front wheels to regain steering control. In the case of a 2500 series truck the tongue weight from a trailer the size of the OP it's very unlikely it would take enough weight off the front to make any difference.
Sway control? That's different. Some folks will say "I have a big truck and have towed 30ft trailers for a million miles and never needed sway control". Maybe. Sway control is like insurance. You can drive a million miles and never make a claim. Do you decide you don't need insurance because you've never had an accident? One day that teen age girl who's texting rear ends your sedan and totals it out. Her insurance isn't adequate to cover the damages. You decided you didn't insurance. What now?
Sway control is like that, you don't need it until you need it. And compared to what you spend on everything else, sway control costs almost nothing.
I really don't think it can be put any better than this. Read and heed, you don't get to choose if, and/or when a sway event will come calling. Best to have the insurance.
