Biggest problem with welding is that in time the vibration will cause cracking. A few braces is a good idea. The bolts should be high tensile with good sized flat washers to spread the load. The main A frame part could be welded as well as the bolts. I had a trailer that sounds similar a while back, ended up tightening all the bolts & then welding the nuts on so they didnt come loose. The guy I sold it to still uses it as a farm trailer.
When you get it going best you sign write on it "available for hire" that way no one will want to borrow it.
