I've had 17 boats with trailers in my life...only one had surge brakes...and for that reason. Any type of steep incline will cause that effect. But, it sounds as if it's not that big of an issue from those that have used a tow dolly. If you try to back up an incline it can lock them up as well, but who backs up with a tow dolly? You also get that "clunking" back and forth every time you stop and start. personally, I prefer electric. All new pickups, including my 550 chassis, come standard with factory installed brake controllers. With electric brakes you can manually apply them slightly and separately from your truck/coach brakes if you're in a situation that calls for it.
