I would welcome opinions on the best axle to crown length for the fork. I have specified a tapered head tube so I can go steel initially and carbon later, if I so choose.

I thought the standard axle to crown for cyclo-cross forms was 400mm but I hear rumours that 395 or 397 is in fact more common.

wouldnt you have 15mm or so less stack when you go from steel to carbon forks as the lower headset cup sits 'inside' the HT?

I'm guessing not if I use an ec44 lower cup on both forks. I'm just kind of assuming that's possible at this stage.

TBH if carbon is a silly compromise then I'll avoid the tapered head tube as well, and use an off the shelf steel fork, thereby saving some moneys.
