Interesting, i hasn't come across them before, didn't realise they were a known thing.
They do work very well, as it allow the builder to use a thinner gauge tubing than you would as the truss design allow it to be both strong and still retain a degree of flex (after all some older bicycle have a lots of rake so it allow it to flex a bit over bump).

Truss forks have been around for ever. I couldn't possibly say if these are any good, but all steel disc forks are compromised in some way anyway, I don't see why these would be any worse.
