There's always a slight loss of sharpness due to the resampling process, but that's unavoidable and not dependent on the smoothness settings.

But I suspect that what you're seeing is motion blur in the frames. Deshaker can only remove unwanted motion between frames, not within frames. So if you have a slow shutter speed (slower than around 1/300 sec) there's a high risk you'll get motion blur. When you have motion both within and between frames, motion blur often looks nice, but when you remove the motion between frames, it looks bad. And in a way it might look slightly worse with higher smoothness settings.
