And once you establish that you can’t use a wdh and don’t have auto level/air ride, you’re probably not going to like how 450lbs on the hitch and a trunk full of “stuff” handles. And neither will your car.
And if I’m wrong you’ll never know until you spend a bunch more money and do some irreversible major mods to the car or trailer.
Combined again with your obvious anxiety over towing it in the first place.
And They don’t make simple suspension enhancements for your car, like a cheap set of airbags or helper springs ( no wdh allowed, remember). Closest thing I found was an airlift kit for Q5 for $3k (so $4k for you plus a couple grand mechanic bill).
You’re at the dealbreaker stage here. Period.

Before you take offense to any of this, I understand vehicles, trailers, mechanics, towing etc. Been doing it for 35 years as everything from a laborer to mechanic/fabricator to engineer to being responsible for 100s of people who tow “stuff.” I could plasma the old hitch off and weld a new one on and have the first coat of paint dry by this afternoon, but if I was in your shoes I’d not even consider it and step back and analyze which thing I wanted to keep and which one I wanted to switch out to make a compatible combination.

These guys catch a lot of flack on the net, but it seems they have made conversions for quite a few different cars to tow trailers:
