Understanding the argument of fluid, we are talking about a Getrag here. The fill level is only slightly below the center of the on/out put shafts an under hard braking, it will actually spit fluid out of the vent hole in a running condition. Perhaps if it were being towed static on a dyno with no acceleration, or braking to slosh the fluid, it may be an issue, but in real world dynamics, I would be comfortable to say the fluid is absolutely moving around in the box enough to be safe on a flat tow. Unless you were extremely low on fluid, should be fine. Look at the fill plug on the transmission in relation to the center of the in/out shafts.
Aside from the thought experiment, I have friends that have flat towed their race cars for many years over many miles with 0 issues. Granted they are RWD....
