While I can see the advantage to this I am wondering about how much extra weight that might add to the trailer that could take away from the carrying capacity.

In the video he was retrofitting the trailer, so the plywood was already there. The mechanics would be the same without the plywood, in fact, he never actually attaches to the plywood, just the trailer 'stud'. I would not put on two layers of plywood. I also would probably not go to the effort of stripping off existing plywood just to make it flush. I'm sure that you can install the e-track over the plywood and be satisfied with the result; it's not like you will be loading/unloading every day. I only suggested the flush mount since you already planned to put up new plywood. e.g. install e-track, then install plywood of a thickness to make it flush. Perhaps I am, once again, making the simple complicated.
