I'd put the current crop of carbon wheels/bars/posts/frames, you name it, up against the best steel/alum out there. I'd have no concerns running carbon stuff today, 10 years ago maybe my opinion would be different, but the stuff out today is pretty incredible.

Who knows if the frame in question is well designed, the same can be said for steel, but I'd wouldn't be concerned with carbon from a major manuf assuming it was designed to be a touring bike....which looks like this is.

Awesome vid worth watching, the last bit with concrete is impressive:
