I had the Genesis Volare with the same seat post, a lots more post showing but it was quite stiff and a carbon post would make a significant difference on that bike (running 28mm tyres).
I believe that modern stiff bike need a lots of component that reduced vibration considerably such as a carbon bar and seatpost, maybe those futureshock steerer, that rear rubber suspension from the Trek Domane etc. To make up for the higher pressure narrower tyres.
But when you go for a much wider tyres, standard stem, bar, seatpost etc. won.t provide a noticeable difference, or any.
Your cross bike is a cross bike, where you’re probably running 35psi for cross, highly doubt a carbon post will provide addditional comfort that’s noticeable to you on top of this.
