The only time panniers throw the balance off is when I have only one and overload it. No problems otherwise.

Now trunk bags and baskets on the rear, not so much fun, at least for me. IME if I put a substantial amount of weight (over 5 lbs.) above the rear wheel it causes the back end to wag side-to-side. YMMV, of course; trunk bags and baskets are very popular, just not for me.
