I fully concur with your description. ACC is extremely unpredictable and downright dangerous.
Something is wrong with yours. It's one of the better implementations I've driven, from dozens that I've driven.

If anyone knows how to use "manual" cruise control only without towing I would love to know.
Just put it in towing mode with a blank trailer.

You have to go GM if you want Level 2 cruise while pulling a trailer. Ford doesn't do it either.
Yep, my GM has hands free when towing, they only disable automatic lane changes. Even works on two lane mapped roads.

This isn’t the article I read before, but a new one that gets at the same point: no increase In safety found from features like Blue Cruise, HighwayAssist, and the like (though emergency braking and things like that do help): https://spectrum.ieee.org/partial-vehicle-autonomy-risk
