The problem isn't cooling, it's radiator failures that cross contaminate the trans fluid with coolant and it destroys the trans pretty quickly. Nissan extended the warranty on the radiator, but if it destroyed the trans they were denying folks the trans repair. The best way to fix it is to bypass the radiator, install a gauge, and then see if you need an aux cooler.
It should do fine, but install some airbags in the rear to keep it off the ground. And like said, don't be afraid to tow in 3rd for extended periods of time. Ours had no problems holding 60 mph towing a TT too big for the truck.
You are correct about the radiator failures, and some Pathfinder owners did go that route that you suggested as a preventative measure. We did have a radiator crack at one point but luckily it did not result in fluids mixing.... Currently, we've continued to use the stock trans cooler, and have added a temp gauge. So far, so good. **knock on wood**
