"Some of our members feels that the benefits of a WDH are overstated" am not one.

What I have said is that you can think of a WDH as a strung bow that adds force vectors both fore and aft. I have always felt the 3500 lb axle on my 2720SL to be the limiting factor and prefer not to add any more load to it even though I have never heard of one failing

Besides unlike many TV, the geometry of my Jeep makes it very stable in tow. Few vehicles are as fortunate. It is not advertised much.

Further, the purpose of air lifts (have, never installed since do not need) has nothing to do with weight but rather serve to raise the rear end (air shocks can do the same) so you do not light up the treetops.

None of this is simple and if you really want to know, there is some math involved but is a good idea to stay with ones that are known to work. Or not.
