Yes, the Reese weight distribution system you referenced, their Straight-Line system with Sway Control # RP66074, does allow you to reverse your trailer that has electric brakes.
This trunnion bar setup will prevent trailer sway from starting thanks to its dual-cam operation. During basic straight-line towing the cams lock in place and hold the trailer steady by applying constant, consistent pressure to both sides. This keeps the trailer from swaying in crosswinds. When you go into a turn, the cams unlock and slide to allow a controlled, full-radius maneuver.
The linked video illustrates the components and operation.
