I don't have any data, but you might consider collecting your own data
using GPS data loggers. I am sure other clubs would be interested in
the data. A ballasted single is going to weight about what a 2-place
does, so if you can tow a 2-place you can (probably) tow a single,
especially considering the (usually) better aerodynamics of the
single.

It would be interesting in comparing actual data to extrapolated
estimates using POH data.

Thanks Tom. I also wondered if I could go back and look at logs from
various sites and try to recreate what the density altitude was and then
somehow determine what my actual liftoff point was from the log. I would
think that at least the climb rate could be determined.

I am a bit surprised at the lack of opinions re this so far. It is data
that we should be able to generate and definitely would be helpful to those
of us flying out of hot high airports.
