Carbon forks are not immortal, so manufacturers are trying to get out of liability issues. I am not sure, however, if a simple sticker will get them off the hook. But anyhow, they are more fragile, so I would never NEVER use front panniers with them. I don't know the bike, but any bike with this kind of fork is likely to be relatively light weight. So it should not be overloaded, and you should fit the widest possible tyres to provide some extra suspension for you and the bike.
This does not mean camping is out of the question, far from it, but it does mean going ultralight. As for what goes where, I keep my often dirty and wet tent on the rack and certainly not in the nice and dry panniers, together with all that clean and dry stuff. My spare clothes, sleeping bag, mattress, cooking gear etc all go into a pair of Ortlieb rear panniers. This way I also save the need for a waterproof rack top bag. Even on my upcoming part off road trip to Norway with its potentially wet and cold weather I will not need front panniers (but it will be a tight squeeze). Use the money you save by not buying a front rack and panniers to reduce the weight and volume of your gear. A PHD sleeping bag or a Thermarest Neoair or Exped Synmat basic matrress are a great way to shed weight and volume. And so is a down vest instead of a fleece one (you can also use it to upgrade your sleeping bag on cold nights).
