If you are wanting to know if it is a problem to take your luggage onto the metro, the answer is "not really".
You will have stairs and tunnels to navigate, and some metro cars can be very crowded at certain times. You need to position yourself such that no one can grab a bag as the doors are closing and make off with it.

Every station I can think of has some sort of bypass for luggage. Here's an example:

<i>Vraiment!</i> One can even take bicycles into certain trains at certain times/days of the week through the <i>portillon de service</i> alluded to by Gretchen. On the RER, it's basically any time except weekday commuting hours.
