No, weight does not do this. Weight is Cisco local-scope attribute as first
decision-maker for preference, think of it as non-transitive local-pref on
steroids.
There is no reason to muck with weight in Cisco when doing Cisco/Juniper
migration.

Only situation where I've had to adjust weight in IOS, is to set backup
route weight to 0, so that even backup PE will go to network and primary
PE, instead of going to customer directly at backup PE. This hack would not
need porting to Juniper. You could just skip it.
