Getting the rack and steel forks off surely made it lighter. Tyres make it roll faster on tarmac, but not on gravel. For cyclocross, if you train hard and race, carbon forks are a must. The fatigue of one hour of cx is mental and after 30min you want your bike to be as light as possible. Or you could train really hard like Dan Chabanov.
If you just semi-mtb around local forests dont bother buying carbon forks. Also if you need 1 1/8" disc forks, you dont have many full carbon choices out there.
