I think the comment about the trailing arms is more due to the twisting loads on them. The pivot pins are not far from being lined up with the rear axles, but with the damper mounts being on the inside you have the spring pushing down on the inside edge of the arm while the wheel is pushing up on the outside edge of the arm. The twisting force on the arm would be greatly reduced by mounting the shocks in the centre or even on the outside of the arms.
