I don't have experience with two wheeled trailers but I do have experience with a BOB Ibex and an Extrawheel Voyager. Neither suck, neither cause me any wheel rear axle isses and handling at higher speeds? No dramas either.

I am heading off on my Dreaming Tour in July, ~5,000 km mainly on dirt roads through the outback of Northern Territory and Western Australia. I will be pulling my Extrawheel Voyager. Never ever considered the idea of a two wheeled trailer and have never seen any reason to go with one over the Extrawheel Voyager which has been used on some serious expeditions by others. GJ Coop is also touring around the place pulling a BoB as is the Cycling Dutch Girl. Seems to be working fine for both of them.
