I'd be a lot more wary of carbon forks with an alu steerer than full carbon forks (the latter I'd probably never plan on replacing). The bond between alu steerer and the carbon is where there's most likely something going to go wrong.
I had just bought some replacement carbon forks (alu steerer) for my Tempo just before it got stolen. It had done ~50,000km or so by then (no point replacing based on time if the bike rarely gets used). I might get round to fitting them to the new Tempo (assuming I still have it) in 2020 or so (it gets a lot less usage now).
I use Deda Black Rain forks as I have mudguards and long reach (57mm) brakes.
