Cabinet swaying (?), well, -yes and no. As always you have a force and a counter force. If the cone is extremly heavy while the speaker cabinet is extremly light weight, you may worry about some doppler effect in high frequencies. I presume you are not a bat though, ...
In my case the weight ratio is close to 900:1, cabinet weight versus cone weight. I can barely feel a slight vibration but no rocking at the speaker top. If one is able to add a restraint to any "rocking", I would do that. It is very easy if the speakers are flush mounted in wall and it doesn't take much really. For a free standing speaker or on stands, it will be tricky with anything WAF approved, so I would just enjoy the improvement the vibration isolation gives instead of going nuts over possible minuscle doppler effects.
