I know most of the pros and cons. I already have a hardtail (timberjack) and with all the single track and gravel roads I do on my grizl I never really felt like I needed something like this.
My girlfriend has an aluminum grizl with a suspension fork and she seems to like it.
I got this from canyon as my replacement frame color doesn't match my old fork color.
What do!

If they just gave you a Rudy because of a warranty color mismatch, that’s pretty stellar.
Put it on and shred away on the gravel and single track
It’s not Permanent (presumably) so install it give it 6 months and see if you like it!
Why would you not install it? It can only be better for gravel
Suspension is the future of gravel 😉
Kidding aside, what type of riding do you usually do? That would be my Northstar when making that decision.
Run it, enjoy the smoothisity!
Rudy? can’t fail.
(recycling a joke I made here about 2 weeks ago)
I would’ve installed it faster than I could upload it as a post to Reddit.
Don’t internally route your front brake line and you can easily switch it on and off as-needed. I just picked one up and will probably run the fork for certain races and certain bike packing trips, probably for a few months at a time until another trip/race dictates the switch back to rigid. I may just keep it on all the time if it doesn’t feel slower
