To each his own. I’ve run airbags of one type of another for over 50 years.
I have them now with a fifth wheel and would not tow without.

Towing a fifth wheel trailer with "all" the pin weight over the rear axle is significantly different from towing a travel trailer with a weight distribution hitch that "forces the rear of the tow vehicle up and transfers weight "forward" to the front axle and "aft" to the trailer axles. If (again a very large two letter word) the weight distribution system is "PROPERLY" adjusted (not just "cranked up until it looks level" then the headlights will be aimed properly and the front/rear attitude of the tow vehicle will approximate the vehicle when not hitched to the trailer. If you "can't get the back up to normal level" with the hitch, it's really time to look for a bigger tow vehicle.
And, as always, YMMV (so it's OK to disagree)....
