More and more thru axles in 2016 bikes make me doubt about my new road disc project fork choices...
I weight about 200 pounds but out of the saddle never had rubbing discs with QR suspension forks, maybe on a road fork would be different? Any experiences with steel/carbon disc forks and heavy weight riders?

unlikely
i have two road disc bikes, both with standard QRs and carbon forks. have not had any problems with wheels falling off or forks wobbling around. my weight varies but can approach yours when i have eaten a lot of pie

if you are that worried, just make sure your hubs can be converted to through axle
