Yes, it also may impact grip, but it's much better to get that grip with appropriate suspension changes, then with reducing chassis rigidity. There is reason why manufacturers always boast about strengthening chassis vs older generations as an achievement in PR materials whenever they stiffen up chassis with slight redesign or usage of stronger steel.

The reason they release articles like that for PR, is because people who know nothing about engineering buy into it.
Also, strength doesn't always mean rigidity.
