Choose 'no reverse' - hands down... Go with the dolly.
Going over the weight limit will overtax the engine, transmission, brakes, chassis, hitch receiver, and your liability in the event of an accident.
No reverse is a minor inconvenience - just needs some planning before you pull into that gas station, parking lot, etc to be sure you can get out moving forward. (Same with 4-down towing - no reverse there either...)
Does assume the RAV4 allows towing with just the front wheels raised... If not you need a different vehicle (for one of the two...)
