I'd go with the 468mm length of either the Ogre or Fargo fork. The main differences between those two are the Ogre fork is 43mm rake and the Fargo has 45mm. Also the fargo ( Cromoto ) fork is said to have a more comfortable feel to it ( the Ogre fork is very stiff ). They both have the anything cage mounts, which you'd find very useful for bikepacking.
The inbred already has a higher BB than the Ogre, so I wouldn't want to fit a longer fork and raise it even higher, especially if loading up the bike for touring. Seeing as the inbred has a 71° head angle, rather than the Ogre's 72°, you can choose by deciding how much trail you want.
Compare it to a few others out there ( if you haven't already ) on here.

I've seen references for that ^ older Kona P2 29er fork as anywhere between 465-470mm a-c and between 45-47mm rake.
