I have a tri axle 25' straight gooseneck...no dovetail, with 7,000 axles. I didn't buy it to play tractor-n-trailer..just got a deal on it and use it to haul my tractor on occasion, which might go 8500-9000 total. I yank it with my 4 wd 1/2 ton pu and it handles well enough. However, even if I had a ton truck to pull it with...I still wouldn't want to load it to the gills and have the tail wag the dog. I see it everyday out here in the country where I live. Neighbors go buy a dually and pretend their gooseneck is a single axle Mack with a Freuhauf tied on behind. Well...it ain't!
I do have a a couple of neighbors who have actually bought single axle tractors to pull their GN's with and it is a fantastic combination. They have power to spare, cheap to buy, generally use no more fuel than a dogged one ton or dually, the brakes are 500% superior and they just play with whatever load you can pile on a GN trailer. They never have transmission troubles either. That would be the way I would go if I wanted to have a great GN puller. Yellow Freight and similar outfits sell their older tractors that have lots of farm life left in them and usually for less than $5,000. My neighbor down the road bought 2 from Yellow...one for $2800 and the other for $3500. He runs the innards out them and his dually left the farm.

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
