What gravel suspension forks have you ridden? 30-40mm in a modern fork is so much different than it was decades ago. We learned a lot back then that has been overtaken by events, or in many cases was untrue.
I don't think suspension is a good fit for every course but it definitely has a place for some courses.
The issue isn't how well it works - it's how much it costs, how much it costs to service within the warranty period, how much service it requires, and the aero penalty.
The actual functional aspect is a huge improvement on rougher gravel there's not really any argument there.
