I found bolt though axles help with torsional stiffness but not much difference with fore and aft stiffness. That’s where a tapered steerer helps.
As well as the axle and steerer the forks chassis has a big impact on overall stiffness too. Eg Fox’s 32 chassis, even with a 15mm axle and tapered steerer feels more flexible compared to a RS Revelation with 20mm axle and straight steerer.
You could well get the stiffness you want by using 32mm stanchions or by using a newer stiffer chassis. Keeping your hubs and headset the same.
I have two bikes, one runs a 100mm RS SID with QR the other runs a 140mm RS Rev with 20mm axle. Yes I can feel a bit of extra twang in the SID even when riding on same trails and keeping the riding roughly within the bounds of what the SID was designed to ride. But its not enough to distract me from my riding or make me completely miss the line I was intending to take. A bit like when you ride the same corner twice, the ground will react slightly differently each time, a bit of soil might hold one time but give way a second but you still always make the corner without any dramas.
