Pretty sure that it was a DOT Requirement to have brakes on any trailer that weighs more than 3,000#. I don’t recall the weight cutoff for single axle, but am well aware of axles made to support 5200#.
Get the brakes.
They come in very handy on slick surfaces to get/keep the trailer under control and behind the tow vehicle.
