This is absolutely, 100% nonsense. Cantilever brake shudder can’t and won’t cause a carbon fork to break. No doubt, extreme brake shudder is very scary, but this sounds like you’ve stumbled across some anti carbon fiber propaganda somewhere. If a fork crown cable stop doesn’t eliminate the problem, or if the fork isn’t drilled at the crown, another option is to replace the front brake with a mini-v brake. That will tend to pretty much solve it.
