Default Max Weight of Non Lift Producing Components

Does anyone know, how exceeding that non-lifting weight influences the
flutter of the wing?

Its more a structural thing than load related.

Increasing surface torsional stiffness delays the onset of flutter and
putting the CG of the flying surface in front of the torsion axis damps
it out.
