Having to explicitly instantiate templates may certainly have put the kibosh on some of the ridiculous template metaprogramming I've seen in C++. However, I suspect it would have been used anyways because when a language only gives you a limited set of tools and the best thing for turning that screw is a scissor blade, by gosh, someone is going to use that scissor blade. Whether oodles of compiler output when you hold it wrong or gigantic TUs of template instantiations is worse is up for debate.
