The shop manual indicates that you should not fill the rear differential to the edge of the filler opening but to some point below it. The manual just gives a refill capacity. My question is: would it be harmful to refill the rear differential to the edge of the filler opening? (cause leaks, etc.?)

Yes...
I don't know what model diff you have but yes many will
leak when over filled due to lub getting in the axle
housing and knocking out the wheel bearing seals.
