Does it cause any undesirable driving issues having that constant pressure on one side of the axle?

I think there were some significant problems with a prior RC QD design. It may take a few other folks extolling the features of this new design to work some of that negative press out of the system. The do look nice, and the price is great.

Ive also heard several bash the RC quick . The problem I had with them was they were at a angle and would not line up straight makeing it hard to disconnect and connect but two thick washers on bottom bolt next to bracket brought them out straight now they are a breeze to line up . Sometimes you have to improvise to suit your needs.

I have not heard any complaints from users on the new style.

Don't know why you would need a bracket for the sway bar, I've never had a problem with the sway bar moving after being disco'd.

There have been at least a few examples of an unsecured sway-bar cutting tires that are stuffed in the wheel well at full flex, securing the bar prevents this.

Old style ,they were this way too much angle

But I had to put extra thick washers on bottom to get straight (red locktite on nut it would reach the crimp part )Now they look like this

I don't think that's the disco's fault....probably the axle being off center if I was to guess.
