Looks pretty sturdy! Just a few words of caution per the User Manual. If it's overloaded and something happens that you need to make an insurance claim, you may be denied.
Yes,
I store my hose extension there with a magnetic end cap. But only when it’s dry. Otherwise the bumper will rust from the inside. And you still need a place to store sewer fittings and water hose dedicated to sewer use.
Sewer stuff, sewer hose, hose and container doesn’t weigh more than 15lbs.

On my Apex 235BHS, I reinforced the frame and bumper, and actually put a 200lb motorcycle on a rack on the back. Also carried bikes on a rack across the country.
I really don't know why they make the bumpers so flimsy. Just a little extra steel, doesn't take much!
Here is the mount I use for my Thetford. You could also easily find a plastic bin with sealable top to slide in there on its end. Then just strap it when traveling. For the Thetford, I had to move the spare to the right a few inches. PM me if you want measurements.
thanks for the info everyone
i may get an old military ammo can and paint it black and bolt it to the bumper for the misc poo stuff i dont want inside.

I have a couple of plastic ammo cans, one for the black tank flush hose and one for sewer attachments. I'm getting some encased magnets that I'll attach to the bottom and store them on the bumper behind the spare tire. That way when I'm at a site without sewer hookup, I can easily throw the two ammo cans in the bed of my truck and tow the waste tote over to get dumped.

Given the bounce at the back of a moving trailer, I'd be really tempted to have a captured load strap of some sort as a supplemental restraint for each can.

I have experience with weaker magnets holding things to the roof of 40' shipping containers traveling down the worst roads you can imagine. I'm 100% confident in this solution.
