The stock hitch receiver is rated for 575 pounds. If you can find a heavier rated receiver for your application, then I would defer to the number in the owner's manual. But the sticker on the receiver is correct for the factory hitch receiver. Which means the trailer you are asking about is already too heavy, because its tongue weight rolling down the road will exceed that number.
ESP has nothing to do with weight distribution. The ML does not require WD, so it's up to you. If the rear end squats too much, or the headlights are pointing too high, then WD would fix this issue. Ditto any "porpoising" experience. The 575# tongue weight limit should keep you from overloading the rear axle either way.
