(massive tire in fork, much forces?)
Bigger tyre will typically reduce the peak loads on the fork/headset/head tube thanks to spreading impacts of a given impulse over a greater time.

Fat bikes therefore don't need massive tubing/any reinforcement?

Not so sure this is correct. A bigger (heavier) wheel will blatantly put more stress on the frame. Just look at monster trucks. Huge torsion / shear forces. Resulting in the use of artillery difs etc.
