They come stock with 32 inch tires stock so 33 inch will probably not
affect things too much.

I have an 05 rubicon I lifted and put on 33's. When I pull a little
14 foot flat skiff maybe 300 lbs, with a trailer (don't know how much
it weighs, but is is overbuilt), I have a much harder time stopping.
It certainly doesn't brake like it did with 31's. But it is liveable,
just allow ample stopping room.

It could very well be. If it has limited resever power for you towing
needs now, it will get worse and as I said braking will be reduced a
bit too. The only way you can honestly maintian same pulling power
with bigger tires is a axle ratio change which can be expensive but it
does restore your overall effective drive ratio when using bigger
tires. Some think they can tune this out with a exhaust of air filter
but you cannot as it deals with simple physics and mechanical advange
over the load and more engine torque is require for same ground
tractive effort. ALso remember that this "power loss" will be felt in
all gears including starting a load out on boat ramp so you know where
you are now performance wise and simply understand the towing
performance will degrade with bigger tires. How much of a issue this
is for you again depends on "where" you are at now in the towing
performance curve with your load. Another way to look at this, if you
install bigger tires with stock axle gears, it has the same net effect
as taller axle gears with stock tires or a net loss of effective
pulling power in every gear due to a taller overall effective final
drive ratio.
