I agree. Drywall should not be depended on to carry any load except for its
own and a couple of coats of paint. I've seen every fancy doo-dad designed
to enable drywall to bear the weight of something else, at some point tear
an obnoxious hole in it. Unfortunately that includes toggle bolts, even
though I agree they're the best attempt. If you've absolutely got to put
something between studs, fasten a furring strip between the studs and put
your object on that.
