From my experience as long as you don't buy lightweight carbon bars they are sturdy enough. One guy here had whatever comes with sworks sl8 and that one indeed cracked on a 30 kph tumble but my bars didn't crack from my crash (2 piece cockpit with bikedoc handlebars) and I have a mate who's crashed the cockpit that came with his china frame (probably 50-70€ on aliX at most) 3 times at 45-55 kph in races and it's still alive and kicking.
I think when it comes to carbon in general it's all a lot more sturdy than it seems until you purchase highend lightweight components.
