This makes no sense to me
I run panniers on Tubus Cargo racks and am always strapping a load on top, with or without panniers

Certainly a lower rail like what the Logo has adds some versatility, but I am a doubter of the 'stability' argument. A low mounting matters more for the front end, where high-mount panniers will weight your steering and turn it. But at the back end it's less of an issue. Eg. higher COG is
actually better for balance. Watch a penny farthing rider ride
really slow sometime.
