I removed the short travel hybrid 700c fork from my Fuji Crosstown xtracycle conversion, replacing it with a steel suspension corrected fork. Handling improved and weight dropped. Safety and speed over comfort. A fully suspended cargo bike would feel unsafe, IMO. Fat tires and an eye out for potholes are good enough.
