'Vintage' Carbon Fork Reliability?

Im debating whether to ride 'vintage' (20+) year carbon fork, given that its original to the frame. Am I thinking too much or is this something I should DEFINITELY be cautious about? I either ride it, or get a steel fork to replace, and keep the original off to the side.

Whats should I do?

I ride mostly streets that has its unexpected bumps/dips which I try to avoid as much as possible (in general), but its sometimes inevitable, which scares me about the carbon giving out. The thought of it exploding or anything during a 30+ descent....its terrifying to be completely honest..

Any suggestions? Thank you!
