So the way I’m understanding this, is that I must register the truck for the class that best represents the proper GCVW. So even if I tow my 5er only twice per year, the truck needs to be classed all the time for that combined weight, even though 99% of the time I’m below 14k actual weight. The LEO pulling me over when I’m trailering won’t know that it is the exception, not the rule, I get it. In that case it is a game of odds for me.
What I think may be a real gotcha, is when I go for my Class A license test. I bet my truck will be inspected to make sure it’s properly classed for the 26,001+ Class A threshold. In fact, because I’d be at 30,850 GCVW, I should be Class 10 according to this chart:

Wow. That’s very expensive. Ouch.
