Recently, two parallel cracks appeared in the frame at the bottom of the steerer tube but these have been professionally repaired by a
specialist aluminium fabricator

why would anyone repair it like that and not instead replace the entire tube, that would be the strongest and safest method. I would be very unhappy

That frame should have been written off and cut up for scrap. Even if it is very nice Pace externally butted square tube frame.
Ride at your own risk I say
