Not at all. It's very far from what it can handle. Just imagine what happens when you drive over a bump and the trailer lifts from the road jumping over it. The dynamic load on the hitch is way higher than the static load from the nose weight.
It's a value calculated to be carried well by the car's suspension. That's why it's a good idea to have Nivomat if you want to benefit from the increased stability you gain by a higher nose weight.
Especially with caravans, the high front creates a lifting momentum from the air resistance when you increase the speed, which also is the same condition that increases dynamic load on the hitch from bumps in the road.
