IMO you have correctly assessed the overall situation and one comment I have is that I often see this concern over "locking" the TT brakes up. First off on normal pavement and with fairly heavy TT I don't think it's possible to really "lock up" these electric brakes.---
According to Dexter Axle:
On an unloaded trailer, you may be able to lock up your brakes if your electric brake controller is supplying full amperage to the brakes.
When loaded to capacity, you may not be able to lock your brakes as electric brakes are designed to slow the trailer at a controlled rate, and not designed to lock up the wheels on a fully loaded trailer.
