You certainly can as long as you don't let VW find out, or don't care about the warranty.

Best I understand it, VW is worried you will slip the clutches on a boat ramp and overheat/ kill them.

If it was me / someone else, I'd just tow with it, try not to beat it up from a dead stop while towing, and pull the hitch/ wiring if I had a warranty claim. Unfortunately, that's not acceptable here
