Hi,
No but after looking at the assembly................................a flexible stem might be more practical.

Unsprung weight?

It certainly has low unsprung weight.

But the brake pads move up and down the brake area if I am not mistaken.

I had a flexible stem on my old mtb and I thought it quite good...........it certainly takes up small vibrations in the wheel, though does not have low unsprung weight, just isolates you hands from all that road buzz, not unlike rubber bushes on motor vehicles which isolate suspension and motor drive from the human cockpit.
