Yes I have towed that route a couple of times when we visited a campsite just before junction 9 of the M5 near Shrewsbury. Time wise it's a little longer than going M42/M5 due to several roundabouts but can confirm that the road is suitable for towing.

I made this journey the other day as I do fairly often and I'd recommend just staying on the m5. Your big problem will probably be around bristol way jnc 14 on can be a pain

I travelled the M42/M5 route a few weeks ago with my caravan and the road works coursed no problem at all neither south bound nor back again.

In my previous post I said junction 9 of the M5 near Shrewsbury which was a genuine mistake and should have said Tewkesbury. I tried to edit and rectify my post but only 2 hours are allowed to do this so had to add this post.

I'm local and would agree with cabbieman. The route is suitable for towing (although it can be a little tight through Studley due to parked cars) but it's much easier to just stick with the motorway.
