The concern expressed originally was sunburn on gooseberries which I believe has more to do with light intensity than temperature though I might be mistaken.  In any case if you were trying to get maximum quality and yeald you wouldn't want to sacrifice the late afternoon sun.  Of course people often put ribes in the shade because it's the only thing that will do well there.
