Agreed that bar placement is important, most people put it too high, but front squat is a different exercise with different mechanic.

Any unstable surface will provide balance/stability/proprioceptive training. Performing a dynamic movement on it will also increase the activity for co contraction of stabilizing muscles/muscle groups. The main goal is to fire phasic not tonic muscle groups. At least that's what I do for myself and my patients.
Do tell about the different mechanic. As what happens at the back, hips, and knees is the same no matter where the bar/weight is. Not to mention functionally do you tend to have weight in front of you or behind you resting on your neck.
a bigger fan of performing and prescribing functional movements.....
