All the tri axles I have used had load levelers. As with any trailer you want it level as possible. We turn them super sharp, about 70deg to the trucks on very rough brushed concrete boat ramps each and every time. Yes, the tires fold but no worse then a tandem. The tri axles just pivot around the center tire. The front tire either goes in or out and the rear does the opposite.
I am with you on torsion axles. They were very popular in the late 90's and early 2000's on boat trailers. They are all but phased out now. No means of load sharing between axles I have seen single axles carrying 70% or more of the load on tandem axle units and inturn multiple tire failures
