I'm more worried about the extra weight on the limbs causing more stress and weakening them. Cherry trees already have narrow crotch angles that can split from the weight of a large crop.

They supposedly let enough sunlight through where it shouldn't stunt the growth. I might do a test where I cover one tree and let the rest uncovered. The sour cherry is a prime candidate for being covered for this test.
