Would splitting the weight on both sides be better? I have one DIY pannier. It was ok I need to move it back a little more for more heel clearance.

I do see how having the weight high makes the teetering slower and therefore could make the bike more stable in theory. The trouble is, if it teeters out of control, it's harder to correct if the weight is large and the center of gravity is high. I'm just thinking here.
