My opinion is you are within limits as weighed. If you weren’t fully loaded and/or missing some people, etc. and estimate this might be another 300lbs+/- it works for me. If you estimate another 1K lbs then no. The weight limits need to be adhered to but there is always leeway and still be safe. Not unlike a road sign indicating taking a curve at 30mph but you can easily and safely take the curb at 35mph or towing is 55mph in CA but 65mph in most States and still deemed safe.
