Does that mean GVWR doesn't matter and can be ignored?
I don't think so. All the ratings have some significance and should be factored into your decisions.
I never get a good answer on this one.
How can I load my rear axle to it's RAWR of 9,750# and not add a single pound to it's front axle weight of 5,250# and be within the 14k GVWR???

If I understand correctly you can't load to the full rear axle rating without exceeding your GVWR.
Much in the same way you can't tow a 15k bumper pull RV without exceeding the hitch rating.
Sure you may be within one rating but exceed others. I'm not sure what's so complicated about that!
