There is no problem carrying 14 pounds a side in the front end, with a bike built like a tank. Ideal weight distribution is 60% of load front, and 40% rear, though I have never got it that far forward myself, but you aren't pushing anything with your numbers.

If anything weight up front should make it less likely to throw the front wheel out of the fork, but if there is any possibility of that then you need to regard that as a separate issue. Presumably CM did it right, but there is one position in which the brake on disc acts as a pivot and pivots the wheel out of the ends, and another where it pivots it into the ends. Seem like it would be correct to have the disc placed ahead of the fork, but I could be wrong. My disc fork is to the rear.

When the disc is full on it is like establishing a new axial position, and if the wheel where free of the skewer it would rotate around the disc brake contact point and force the wheel into the drops when the brake is forward. Another option would be solid drops with a wheel with a removeable axle, which is a typical set-up on a lot of other vehicles. Asking the QR to be the hero in all this with wheel saving ends is a kludge.
