I disagree with both of your statements. First weight issues are way more common for truck campers than for other RVs. The reason should be obvious. The entire weight of the rig is carried by the truck.
Second, it is too late to make significant changes after buying the camper and the truck to carry it. The whole point of the discussion and proposed sticky is to be able to match the camper and the truck before buying it.
You obviously haven’t seen blowouts or crashes with other RV types, or why do you think those happen?
The forums are littered with tire discussions, air bag, stocks, suspension, 19.5s, etc in all of the Class and trailer forums. You only have to go read to see those.
Actually, it’s not too late. You can always change or upgrade the truck. That actually makes the TC more flexible than almost any other RV.
The most dangerous scary ride I was ever in was a friends Class C followed by a ride in a different friends Class A. The most scared my wife was when she drove the SUV that we had with a TT in wind.
We aren’t that special other than we have a huge amount of flexibility. As previously noted, I was able to carry my current TC on a SRW with no issues. I simply had to pay attention to what else I carried with the SRW.
