My opinion and experience is they each stop them selves if each are in good shape.
And the other -in an emergency. Brake lines blew on the TV when trying to avoid an idiot who cut me off on the interstate last summer. It was the trailer brakes that got us to safety!
Could you not use your parking / E brake on the truck? Those are operated mechanically. Have a cable that pulls them on.
Oh, ya sure, you betcha. 1 tiny little drum or disc (especially on a truck old and rusty enough to blow a brake line) will not do squat compared to 2 or 4 presumably serviceable trailer brakes.
