So just going off the top of my head

Yes, Bosch machines don't reverse. They don't have a heater though.
Main difference would be target temp. Every HP dryer has a cooling fan to manage temps of the heatpump and inside the dryer.
If temperatures go too high, that fan activates and draws air over a small heat exchanger that basically dumps heat into the room. If the fan is off, a little heat is rejected, but the amount is minute.
So Towels on these probably just allows for much higher temperatures

Your washer will probably draw round about 2.2kW max.
That is about 10A.
A heatpump dryer will never draw more then 800W continously with very few exceptions (some early HP dryers were rated at 1.2kW or such, their Little Giant versions draw 1.44kW max and I think Miele rates their current linup at 1Kw even though they don't run at that level).
Worst case continous draw is round about 650W from what I have seen across the board. So that would be true no matter which current EU design HP dryer you would buy.
Thing is compressor startup. All models I see in the NA market are just normal 1-speed capacitor started things. They can spike really high for a fraction of a second.
I load an 16A circuit with my washer and dryer at once and I have pretty low voltage in my flat (200-210V) and haven't had issues yet.
Given your circuit is rated at 30A probably (it's an old dryer circuit I guees?) you could probably even run 2 HP dryers plus the washer off of that splitter.
So wouldn't worry to much.
