We use a Carla at work, it gets smashed in to bollards etc fairly regularly by careless couriers (including myself from time to time) misjudging gaps. I'm glad it's so overbuilt! Total bike, trailer, load and rider weight is probably close to 300kg so even saving 10kg on the weight of the trailer doesn't seem worth it.
I can definitely see a lighter trailer being useful with different use cases though!
