Probably not. Thru-axles are meant to stiffen the fork by closing the gap between the fork legs.

The what? Surely a wider triangle would be stronger/stiffer. Or maybe ive misunderstood

You are right.
But the through axle becomes part of the fork assembly and doesn't change the physical properties of the wheel.
In order for the wheel to become stiffer you would have to increase the flange diameter of the hub or use a different material altogether.
