From a structural engineer's point of view (not automotive) I can see no reason chassis rigidity would be affected either way. If there were any flexing in the area of the moonroof, you would hear creaking in the area between the roof gasket and the glass panel.

There is flexing going on everywhere, you don't hear it, do you?
