Yes, it would be less stable but if it were the seat were 100M further back then it still wouldn't lift up under front braking so centre of gravity is irrelevant isn't it.
Bike A. Rider sat 1m from front wheel axle at height of 1m
Bike B. Rider sat 100m from front wheel axle at height of 10m
With same front braking force rider of bike A will be over the bars before rider of bike B has any rear wheel lift.
