Having a gooseneck adapter does not magically increase the force required to move, stop, or turn the 5er. The force applied at the pin does not change.
Sure it does. More specifically, the direction of force, and where that excess is dissipated, changes. Simple leverage physics. Stretch your arm straight out with a bowling ball in your hand. You will exert a level of force on your wrist. Attach that bowling ball to a length of broomstick and hold it out. That force will be greatly exaggerated at your wrist.
I agree with this..... increasing the distance from the bottom of the pin box to the linear force connection will increase the torque on the box (significantly?).
