You tow with what you like. If it is an overload you loose acceleration, ride comfort and increase TV wear and tear.
The breaking is a function of the TT.
Some might consider it a white knuckle tow, other think it is just fine.
'White knuckle' is a common assumption of those who have not done it with a properly designed setup, actually cars can be more stable as they have a significant inherent advantage of being lower. Again these pictures are not enough to have an informed opinion for the one setup, but looking at how short the overhang ratio is and the almost level stance I doubt stability is a problem.
I know with my car setup I have more available torque than vehicles rated to tow over 5 times as much, so excuse me if I chuckle about the loosing acceleration from overload opinion as any generic comment.
Anyway if there is anything I have learned about discussing these sorts of issues on trailer forums over the years, the engineering and experience will tend to be pushed aside in favour of opinion. C'est la vie.
