There's a reason you don't see your design implemented by any builders, custom or production.

I wouldn't do it. The bike will steer like a lazy dog.

Any fork flex it going to come from the crown area, where the leverage is greatest. Tuning the fork leg diameter to permit fork flex near the dropouts is wildly hit or miss.

If you want to stick with slack, mountain bike-like head angles, choose the fork rakes typically offered on production bikes.

Otherwise, stay with tried and true numbers.
