Scott and I went out and tried it out, and at no point is there any problem. It walks just fine with no handrail - completely level, stable, non-shifting, with shallow steps down. I love it! We'll see how it does after the weather has a run at it, but so far, it's just perfect. If it holds up to weather as expected, it should be fine for usage as-is and will look better without a handrail.
And hopefully Monday or Tuesday we can get an idea of the schedule on the rest of the back yard, now that this is done. (Dave, our landscaper, was out of town this week, so he'll come back to the pleasant surprise that the subcontractor was finally able to put in the steps!)
And our neighbor on the one side with the nicer landscaping was out tending her own yard, and she likes our new steps, too. Cool. (I told her she's welcome to use them for access to the lower part of her yard if it's helpful, as long as the state of landscaping in our yard will allow. I believe there will be too many plants in the way later, but just now when she's clearing back exuberant growth it might be handy.)
