Made my steering more stable actually, but responds more slowly. I can ride no handed even easier now. I usually find adding rear weight makes the front less stable. My cx bike with rear rack is nearly impossible to ride no handed.
Of course trail and geometry have a lot to do with how different loads affect handling.
