Carbon fork for larger Clyde?

OK, I tried to search, but couldn't find anything related to just a fork...I'm wanting a bike with disc brakes. My current ride is a Trek FX2, which has held up great for 1400 miles so far. I'm a larger clyde at 370, working hard to get that down, so hopefully it won't be long now, though now that I'm over 50 and on insulin the weight loss is more of a struggle than it's ever been - still, I'm determined. Going full-bore Keto on Monday . To get to the point, I adore my FX2, and I could buy an FX2 Disc and probably be happy...but am also looking at the FX3, for the better components, wheels, etc...but the carbon fork worries me. Both the 2 and 3 are officially rated for 300 pounds, but I know they're overbuilt and the 2 seems to be doing a great job of holding me so far...anyway I'm rambling. Anyone in my weight class riding a carbon fork? Thoughts?
