New winch users should Google "Winch Duty Cycle". Most winch makers do not have a listed duty cycle, a few high end models do and it's around 5% at rated load.
There is conflicting information if you can catch this more than one time. Here in the USA Dr's are saying you should be immune for a year or possible for life. I hope this bug burns out in the next few months. Hand sanitizer in the truck along with N95 masks, I plan on more time off road...
Check out the American Furniture Alliance Jr Twin Black Trifold Mattress on Amazon, $45. Takes more room than the inflatables but is 3.5" thick foam, enough for a good nights sleep.

Your shackle hitch is not the weakest point, in most rigs the receiver hitch that is bolted to the trucks frame is the weakest point when you look at the WLL. We all know the WLL is will below the failure point, normally 5X the WLL.
I snatch strap is great for yanking someone when stuck and only need to be moved a short distance, quick and easy. Winch for a more technical recovery, more labor intensive. A 20'X3/4" rope doesn't take up much room.
These 2" hitches are rated between 6 and 8K, they will work in most cases as long as you keep the weight limits in mind. You could use a bow shackle to attach your strap the that hitch. You could radius the hole in the Smittybilt receiver attachment for a softshackle. Some use the hitch pin...
