I don't think it's dumb to see homoeroticism, or to say something like "the emotional tone is similar to that of some long-term love affairs" and note that some readers have speculated on the possibility that Sam and Frodo may have been in love, or lovers.
To say that they indubitably were is privileging one reading.
