Is 1/2" nose high towing an issue?
We have a smallish TT and today I installed an Equalizer WD hitch. Because the tongue of our TT is quite a bit lower than the receiver I have the longer, lower shank that Equalizer suggested. Proble...

It "CAN" be a problem. especially with a single axle TT.
Think of the TT as a teeter totter. You never want the tongue end coming up. That is why 10-15% TW is a guideline, and level to a inch tongue down is as well.
If you have sufficient TW, it may never cause trouble, or the right combination of highway expansion joints, wheelbase and TW may set the teeter totter in motion.
The problem with your teeter totter analogy is that his TT is not "tongue high" because of being overweight in the rear end. If that were the case the motion you describe is definitely a possibility. Being a bit nose high due to hitch setup is much different as long as the TW is sufficient as you state....but that was never his question. I will say that it is good you brought that up....because I just assumed it was OK from the start and I shouldn't have.
