So byd states the towing capacity is 750kg braked. Has anyone experimented with higher capacities? 1tonne etc?

No experience here overloading an Atto. However, any vehicle will physically move a load beyond its rated capacity. Expect accelerated wear, cumbersome driving and dramatically reduced range for any weight. These increase exponentially as the weight increases. Above rated capacity add loss of insurance and legality driving.
In short, people over load cars all the time. Some get away with it. Some fail spectacularly. All experience accelerated wear etc.

What is the question exactly? It will work like any other car. You'll get away with a certain amount, and take on extra risk.
Being front wheel drive, the car already struggles on a loose surface up hill without a trailer, and threatens to get stuck with an empty 8x5. Extrapolating from my experience, overloading it would get you stuck real quick if you aren't on a good surface.
