Is it bad to put my weight on the handle bars?

My boardwalk S1 has a long enough seat post to accommodate my 6'3" frame properly, but when the seat is at the correct height my weight must shift forward to reach the handlebars, which do not adjust. It's less comfortable for my arms, specifically my wrists, than when my seat post is improperly low (which I don't do to avoid injury)

One more reason I'd like to upgrade from the S1 to the Downtube Nova once I have the spare funds for it. But I'm wondering for now.... am I actually hurting my arms/wrists by putting more weight on them, or is it mainly just a comfort issue?

THanks
