Yup.
But they are usually used on vehicles and trailers that don’t need weight redistribution or sway control.
You would have to build a WD hitch with a flat plate to bolt the hook to. Then modify the trailer to attach the round eye. You could put some rubber “chucking absorbers” in while you are at it.
I have towed millions of miles on the eye. And your hook-up procedure is pretty close. When paving, I would set the foot of jack on very back edge of block. Bump the tongue, block kicks out, eye drops. Of course, if off a little I would need help to lift the tongue, get jack back on block.
But eye on pintle, or coupler on ball, the time consuming part is the bars.
