Right - I think I’m going for some tektro cr720 cantis (hard to find decent cantis second hand so might get new, but I only need one which is a pain) as they reportedly play well with my cane creek sc-5 levers. And then a random (mint condition) carbon canti fork off ebay with a mid 40 trail (I still have to measure the crown distance on the alpina)
I have a phobia about second hand carbon stems, bars and forks, but there seem to be a few un-or-lightly used forks available, with uncut steerers and suchlike.
I've never had cantis, but the impression I get on here is that they're a bit of a nightmare. Mini-v is nice and easy, plenty strong and will work with road pull levers. I've had them on a few bikes with no issues.

What could go wrong.
