Floating docks are used all over the place. It wasn't until I came to the NH lakes that I saw anything else. The key to any good floating dock system is how well it is anchored, and how easily that anchoring system can be adjusted.
The good news on Winnipesaukee is that adjustments likely aren't needed all that often. However one might find that an occasional adjustment helps.
With that said you can anchor with Spud Poles, anchors, etc. really depends on the situation.
I have considered going to a floating dock in the future, as to make installation and removal easier I could just pull it to the boat ramp and load it on a trailer.... 2 - 4' x 20' floating sections, and a nice re-purposed trailer...
With all that said, some people have trouble with floating docks because of the movement. (i.e. walking on them)... hence why if I did such I would make large sections.... the kind like you have linked here, will roll with the waves, and on a rough day, might make for an interesting adventure getting to and from the boat.
Willing to talk more about this, if your neighbor would like......
