After some new forks but Boost seem more prevalent.
They don't do hub adaptors for my wheel so would have to use spacers . I often take the front wheel out so don't want the spacers dropping out never to be seen again.
What is the most resilient way to adhere spacer to hub?

Gorilla tape around both the hub end cap and the spacer?

I used a few drops of superglue and a couple of wraps of insulation tape. Lasted plenty well enough!

A few wraps of electrical tape did the job for me.

Gorilla tape for me as well, seems to work but I don't take the wheel out that frequently. I did think that if I got some fat heatshrink and put that over the tape, it would be held in evey strongerer, but I don't think I need it.

Don't bother with mine. Easy enough to catch them when you take the axle out.

A few dabs of superglue and no tape works for me. When I want to remove the spacers a light tap with a plastic mallet knocks them off and I clean up the spacers and hub with IPA.

A spare pair of adaptors somewhere hidden on the bike or in your backpack may or may not come in handy one day....

I'd get a single 10mm adapter and have the wheel redished, it'll be harder to lose than 2 small ones. I tried super glue (admittedly on a rear wheel) and it didn't hold.
