The total capacitance at the input consists of the DAC output capacitance, the op amp input capacitance, and the stray wiring capacitance. Another popular application in which significant capacitance may appear at the inputs of the op amp is in filter design.
For example, one square centimeter of a PC board, with a ground plane surrounding it, will produce about 2.8 pF of capacitance (depending on the thickness of the board). To reduce this capacitance: Always keep the input traces as short as possible. Place the feedback resistor and the input source as close as possible to the op amp input.
Switched capacitors interact with the op amp’s output impedance at the switching frequency, causing DC gain errors and other artifacts. These problems exist even in “DC” applications. The output short circuit current causes a limited rate of change in the output voltage.
Driving a capacitor also entails the op amp’s output current capability since changing the voltage across a capacitor requires an adequate supply of current from the op amp. This article will present a lab method to measure amplifier stability under closed loop condition.
The ability of an op amp to drive capacitive loads is affected by several factors: attenuation and phase shift of the feedback circuit, including the effects of output loads, input impedances, and stray capacitances.
You do not have this issue as long as R19 is present and larger than 500 ohms or something in that order. When an opamp has a large capacitor to ground or supply directly at the output and the output is also used in a feedback configuration then instability can occur or the circuit might even work as an oscillator.

Fundamentally knowing when to use capacitors / inductors
edit: There are many, many uses for these components that are used for complicated reasons. The things I stated are an example of the more arbitrary uses of them. Capacitors/inductors in gain stages, op-amp circuits and filter structures are a different beast and are chosen by analysis, not by "experience".

Driving Capacitive Loads With Op Amps
These sampling capacitors present a non-linear, reactive load to an op amp. For instance, many A/D converters (e.g., low frequency SAR and Delta-Sigma) have sampling capacitors at their inputs. In order to understand how capacitive loads affect op amps, we must look at the op amp''s output impedance and bandwidth.

Simulation Shows How Real Op Amps Can Drive Capacitive Loads
Electrical engineers designing analog electronics commonly have to drive a capacitive load with an operational amplifier that cannot quite handle the required capacitance. Common approaches to handling this situation have limitations that are not always understood. Using simulation, we show these limitations and how to overcome them.

$begingroup$ The OP has edited the schematics (See question edit revision history), and now R18 is not going to the output, but to the GND. Now it''s stable. If you leave the original R18 connection to the output, you notice that if you apply a voltage (e.g. 5V), then V+ will be stably larger than V-. $endgroup$ –

Deep dive: the (in)stability of op-amps
In effect, the op-amp is a voltage comparator: the circuit outputs 0 V when Vin+ drops below 2.5 V, or 5 V when it''s above.. For completeness, we should note that there is an important caveat to this model of an op-amp: the capacitances, inductances, and resistances inside any real-world IC limit the chip''s response speed.

The effect of the new resistor (R 3) is to give the circuit different switching thresholds dependent upon the output state of the comparator or op amp. When the output of the comparator is high, this voltage is fed back to the non-inverting input of the op amp or comparator. As a result the comparison threshold becomes higher. When the output ...
