RE: How big a toad?
Like every issue, there are differences of opinion. I owned a tow dolly 30 years ago. Used it for one travel season & hated it! Every time I got to a campground I had an extra piece of equipment that I had to find a place to store - - a real PITA. Then I had to find a place to store it at home. Left it in my backyard and the next spring I went on vacation in my car and when I came back, low & behold the tow dolly was gone - - stolen! All my friends wanted to know who I paid to steal it because they knew I hated it - - LOL!
I took the insurance money and got my Ford Escort wagon set up to tow 4 wheels down -- loved it! Since then (1993) I have outfitted 8 vehicles to flat tow. Yes, I spent a lot of money to do this but for me it's money well spent. And BTW, I can hook up my tow bar, safety chains, electrical connector and Brake Buddy and be on the road in well under 10 minutes! And I've never had a problem with "wheel wobble" either.

RE: dingy induced sway
I have a similar setup towing a 2019 Ford Fusion Energi with a Ford E450 Class C motorhome. I am amazed that you need a 10" drop hitch. The rear of your motorhome must sit rather high. My Roadmaster tow bar goes directly into the hitch receiver on the rear of my motorhome and the tow bar is within 2" of being perfectly level. Bottom line - - I have experienced none of the issues that you seem to be dealing with and I've towed my Fusion Energi over 12,000 miles with this setup. Sorry to not be of more help.
