A high enough spring rate without sway bars that reduces side-to-side roll sufficiently will adversely affect weight transfer for acceleration and decelleration. You technically do want *some* weight transfer during these actions to increase loading on the tires, although FWD acceleration is different. Then again sway bars introduces stiction and an upward spring force on the opposite side. Also a smaller sway bar or no sway bar seems to allow the suspension to articulate independently of each other, absorbing potholes, undulations in pavement, and curbing much better. In practical use (not textbook use) its a wash from what ive seen. So I tend to agree with you in my limited suspension knowledge.
