One issue with adding a crown race seat further up the steerer is that it will drop the top of the steerer down and into the stem/head tube. In other words,the steerer might not be long enough to have this happen and still secure the headset adjustment and stem.
I agree with doing a bolt on dropout extender trial/test first, just don't leave the fork at that state for long. Andy
