That stem will flex when braking on the hoods. You don’t want that.

I gather it doesn't flex anywhere near that much in reality, that's just illustrative. Some reviewers seem to like it.

To be honest I think it's way overkill and I don't think it's really worth worrying about the fork being too stiff when you're riding on tubeless (I presume) 47mm tyres.

Here's another option for a bit more compliance:
