I also would never twist my axles on dry pavement, such as in the pics. Pics themselves show that this tight angle, is no longer backing, but just pushing the front. I would rather have pulled forward a little, to lessen the angle, before continuing to back.
Most times, an experienced tower, such as the OP, will be able to safely tow a FW, with the pin directly over axle center on a standard bed truck.

The only time I back tighter then I like is into my driveway, and I still don't like the stress on the axles or tires, but it is what it is. But nowhere near those pictures. I have been towing a fifth wheel safely for the past 13 years with two different short bed trucks . With the Ram being the shortest . I have never quite understood the need for 90 degrees, but I guess there are some that need to get that tight. I can only imagine the stress .
I have towed four different fifth wheels with those two trucks, anywhere from 2" forward of axle center to 2" rear of axle center, without issue. As you said the OP should not have a problem with a fixed hitch on the center of axle on a short bed , I still use the old terminogly " short bed " :)
