Of course a frontal crash would do me no good, I second that
Yes, neither this fork not a new CF fork is likely to fail under normal riding conditions, including some degree of rough service, ie. bad roads. In your shoes, I'd keep and ride the dented one because it's there, I only referenced CF forks to relieve you of undue concerns about them.
