My concern is, if somebody hits your bumper, the force will
be transmitted through the hitch directly to the frame.
Without the hitch, the shock absorbers would help absorb
the impact, hopefully saving the frame from damage.

Just something interesting related to this, 1978 coaches did not have bumper shock absorbers. They were replaced with solid brackets for the last model year.
