Not necessarily. I like loops well forward because I tend to fish the plugs slow and shallow. Lots of good darters use a loop further back like you had it initially (check out a Cordell seahag and see where they put their loop). I think that drilling 1/8th gives you more options on loop location as you sand the slope.
As for rolling out, I'm pretty sure that has more to do with the weight (too much is bad) and buoyancy of the tail section. When the plug gets out on a swing the diving plane becomes vertical and stops pulling the plug down. If the tail is too heavy the nose will pull up and the plug will start up and over, but if the tail is buoyant it will point the nose down a bit and the plug will start back down and across.
