Actually, suspension compliance shouldn't change, ideally. That property principally rests between wires/foils, in the gaps. What stiffens is akin to cone stiffness, not spider stiffness. That is the voice-coil is less likely to vibrate like a plucked string. What I was saying was those bass frequencies are far less likely to be 'helped' by said additional harmonics.
(in case some lurker is lost) Adding foil to the unused side is akin to an I-beam structure where the foils are the flanges & the mylar is the webbing, which is why I didn't suggest doubling-up on foil on the one side. The I-beam was developed to make the most efficient use of steel. The result is a greater rigidity to weight ratio. The opposite of traditional round-wire. Besides, the foil has to be wired to the XO anyway, those internal terminals are external to the mylar anyway. They don't care which side they're on. In fact, on old Maggies, it was on the other side.
