Loaded rears increase traction, stability & increase the potential load on the front axle. An implementation on the rear increases traction, stability & decreases the load on the front axle. Think a teeter tower. Even if it doesn't pull the front off the ground it decreases the weight on your small complex expensive axle & moves it to the heavy simple rear axle.
I generally try to have proper 3pt ballast on my machine any time I lift heavy even with loaded rears. Better stability & prolongs the life of my front axle seals, bearings & gears. I don't always ballast rear & it will lift ok. But it's safer & easier on the machine to properly ballast.
