Or will it end in a disaster of split and splintered carbon ?

It's a bug no no. Won't fit in most anyway

I thought expansion type set ups were the bees knees for carbon. Surely Star Fangled Nuts are the big no no?

I thought carbon bungs were a must, stopping the steerer from getting crushed. What sort of fork ?

I have to imagine a head doctor would be ok - don't forget you've got a nice bit of aluminium (your stem) clamped around the outside of the tube to stop it exploding...
