Will riding with aerobars compromise my bike's handling?

Nope!
We specifically designed the Quick-Release Aerobars in conjunction with the Dual-Position Seatpost to provide an optimized riding position on a road bike. Obviously, riding on aerobars is different than riding on the normal handlebars - you don't have immediate access to the brakes, and steering is accomplished primarily via body leaning vs direct steering input.
If you're new to riding in an aero position, it may feel strange for a few rides, but you'll quickly get the hang of it. As with anything new, we recommend starting out on a safe, straight road with minimum car and pedestrian traffic, at least until you get the feel for riding in the aero position.
