I agree that there is no right answer. The way we travel, the dolly would have been a major PITA for us. Rental cars might be a viable short term option, while you do your homework.
I tend to buy cars I really like, and keep them a long time. I have flat towed the same small car for the last 8 years. I installed a Blue Ox baseplate and US Gear system on it, and we moved the controller from our last coach to our Vegas. If I changed cars, the next one would have to work with the US Gear system.
I would want any car I towed to have a brake system of some sort, even a Smart Car. I have a friend that towed one for years. A Brake Buddy will set you back about $1K. That's cheap insurance. You won't have to worry about various state requirements. If you quit rving, somebody would want to buy that brake unit from you.
