No your post is helpful. Carleton is right though. I just have to ride it and see. I suspect I will be fine for most stuff, but we'll see once the speed picks how it really handles. Not well I'll bet.
Carbon steerers are probably a bad idea, especially the one I'm using. Then again I seriously doubt I am powerful enough to actually break it off. But I will have to keep a close eye on it for cracks over time. Probably by then I'll have found a better fork.
Sorry for all this obsessing. I've haven't been able to ride much (<100 miles/week) so I've had too much time to overthink my current build.
