Meaning camper will put much more weight on rear axle when front axle will have weight taken off.
In drastic situation, beside overloading rear you might not have much traction on front.

It's not as drastic as you make it sound. Even if the CoG is a foot plus ahead of the rear axle CL, it is only transferring about 1/10th of the weight to the front axle. So, 400lbs giver take.
With the spec shown for this camper and every other "shortbed camper" I've seen, the CoG is still over the rear axle more or less. Actually in front of the axle centerline in this case.
No different than an 11' camper on a long bed.
I know you understand this from your understanding shown on other things, so please don't make it out to be something it isn't to those less knowledgeable.
