What I do is adjust till there is slight drag then back off a bit. The last thing you want is overadjusted brakes (overheated).
I'm one of the people that believes being able to lock up the brakes during the adjustment of the brake controlller is correct. My trailer weighs 9200lb loaded for a trip.
This is where the uncertainty comes in. After the first time the shop said they adjusted the brakes I said no way as they were no better. Took it back on a Saturday when the shop mgr works and him and I adjusted them. We turned the star wheel until we felt and heard drag but never enough to where we could not turn the wheel. We could spin the tire but I am almost positive it would turn more than one revolution. I was also concerned about over heating but I am going to try the method I posted above so that I can turn 1 full revolution by hand until the tire stops and assume they are not too tight. tks
