Is there any real, concrete advantage to shifting the power of the various classes? I've tried some experimentation, but it typically ends in pissing off everyone else and tearing my realm apart.

It affects the unittypes in the regiment of the county. If you give more power to the nobles you get more knights, if you give more power to the clergy you get more light cavalry and so on.
Make sure all 4 classes have at least some power else they will rebel.
When shifting power, watch out for the loyalty drop of the classes.
Maybe it has some more effects but I don't know them.

Loyalty will heavy influcence you income. I'd advice you have to have at least loyalty techs level 1:s before you start changing power, or you'll have to resort to low taxation/low tolls/low crown duty/high church donations for a while to bring loyalty back up.
below 15% power you start getting some events, the blank feel slighted or what ever, knocks of some loyalty.
I know if you have like 35-55% clergy power the greater chance for that provice to convert.

I usually raise clergy power in wrong-religion provinces to quicken conversion, but otherwise I leave them well alone as my social expermintation usually makes them all hate me! 
Changing the power of my classes is critical to how I build my armies. I shift my province power settings based on what kinds of troops I want. I do this in cooperation with realm laws to achieve best results.
Take a look in the FAQ at the troop type maths and you will see what I mean. Certain laws and power settings create great armies.

Hmm, might go clergy at the expense of the nobles, rather close to the mongols when they arrive light cav+slash weapons could proved useful.
Giving more power to burghers or pesants also seems to raise the province's base income once the loyalty losses recover, while the inverse is true when yougive power to nobles or the church.
