quite an aggressive position (6cm saddle to bar drop).
I'd say this is contributing. Riding rigid for me, benefits from having a higher front end, so I can more easily keep my weight balanced.

Big front tyre, less drop, swept back bars, ergo grips, keep arms loose and grip relaxed
Pretty much anything else you can think of to try and keep the front 'light' and soak everything up through your legs

Rigid - how do people do it?
Niner steel forks on my hardtail as bouncy forks being serviced. Cumulative fatique until hard, dry horse hoof cut up Ridgeway which was hell. Running a Ron 2.25 at 20psi with quite an aggressive position (6cm saddle to bar drop).
Not only hard on the wrists, seemed to make the rear of the bike move around a lot more. Early on felt good - not sure if it's a good way of training to man up or just going to beat me up.
