Take a look at this video, it shows you how to install it. Only takes about 10-15 minutes.

I've had limited experience but the few times I've done it, it was very easy to hook up. Our son in law has the same 5th wheel as you and the Curt hitch. I setup his hitch and wedge for him. No problem to hook up as long as you're reasonably straight. I've also towed his trailer with my short bed truck with the pin box locked. No problem at all but you won't be able to turn as sharply as with it rotating. I don't like to make extremely tight turns anyway because it stresses the suspension.
You can't go wrong with either the B&W or Curt.

I have a 295 and pull it with a 1500 GMC. I had to pull it home with a pin locked as the dealer had to order the correct wedge for the B&W hitch. I had no problem even with the short box (<6’) but you need to be careful. You can still make pretty short turns though. After getting the wedge I have used it and it is nice not having to be constantly on guard when turning. Like you I worried about stability issues when towing but have found it to be very good. I take my hitch out every time after a trip. As said above it comes out in two pieces. I also have a truck cap I put on and off at the same time so that takes up more of my time. The unit is not at all hard to hook up. The pin box will turn to align. You can actually push it by hand. The only concern I have is that I would like to see a grease fitting on it! If there is one, I have not found it!

Anyone know what pin box comes on the 31MB? I am getting one soon (to be delivered in April), but never looked to see what pin box was on it since I always planned on getting a slider hitch.

I have used the Blue Ox slider in both my truck with 6.5' beds. The turning point hitch is locked out. The main advantage of using the slider for me is that the RV is easier to maneuver when backing. By putting the slider in the rear position I am moving the pin farther to the rear, this means the rear of the RV moves faster when I am trying to turn so I can make it go where I want easier. If you leave the slider in the forward position I wouldn't hit the cab until around 80 degrees while backing

How many use the turning point feature?
