Can I tow my 1974 Duster with 908 auto trans behind my motorhome, or will the driveshaft have to be removed?

I've heard of this before but never knew anyone that has used it.
They're an absolute PITA to get working properly. Did that to the wife's sportrac so we could flat tow it and I spent more time under the truck fidling with the thing that dropping the shaft would have been easier. The unit is also made of cheap quickly rusting steel.
We used that setup to flat tow to riverside raceway before it closed in the eighties, and bakersfield for the firestone/centerline finals (havent used that description in a few years, lol). Used an ez-up and pool mattresses in the pickup bed.33IMP, I had a setup like you pictured for many years & flat towed many cars that way. At 2 day races, we slept in tents & if it rained, we slept in the seats. AH, the good old days. LMAO
Scares the hell out of me. IMO those tires wouldn’t last long going down the road at highway speeds. Tow trucks could get away with it because they went short distances at reduced speeds.Towing backwards is frowned apon, engine mass, steering linkage etc. Sure it could be done but I suspect OP is looking to tow long distance "behind motorhome"
Not sure this would be any better but...
Put front on tow dolly rears on dolly wheels below.
For the price might as well get a trailer
