Jeffsy 29 had a 44mm fork in 2017--it's on the Fox-equipped bikes now. I don't think they market it at all. For aggressive cornering, it's better, due to relative ease of countersteering. Shorter stems and bigger wheels make it all the more desireable. Is it worth buying a new CSU? No. Is it worth looking for if buying a new fork or bike anyway? Yes. Fox has had 44 and 51mm options on 32 Float 29s for at least a couple of years now. Don't be surprised if all the 29" forks are 44mm soon enough.
