I realize now that I could have re-organized gear into the towed jeep for a lighter load in the truck and then used the YJ for exploration and trips to town for supplies (while keeping a good campsite).

I flat tow a Suzuki Samurai. You can forget turning around and backing up anywhere. However, easy to unhook and turn around. I have only had to do that two times in over ten years.
I flat tow my Samurai when I make the trips like yours. Flat tow puts no additional weight on my truck. I really appreciate the ability to camp in the TC, and the tour the Rubicon and San Francisco with the Samurai. It also serves as a trailer when needed. It does cost me about 1 MPG in fuel.
