I must have been riding bikes with carbon forks for 20 years and so far no failures. The only time I have failures that were not due to crash damage, we’re on steel and titanium frames.
Ive ridden about 185,000 miles on carbon forks and they've never failed. Not even on my last bike which had the front wheel ripped out by a side impact from a car. It done 40,000 miles after that.
A large majority of bikes sold in the last 20 years or more have carbon forks, and you don't hear too many stories of them breaking outside of severe crashes where the bike has hit something solid.
