I suppose the most important thing is to use a professional welder, not your cousin's kid fresh out of high school shop class.

Absolutely would need to be a certified welder. These guys build trailers all the time. When this is done, it actually strengthens the trailer tongue.

By the way....... the above pics are of a TrailManor factory swing away tongue. I just took those pictures when I painted my frame on my 2005 2720SL about 12-years-ago.
