Generally, medium will be just fine. You of course may need a slight adjustment due to string size, but the CF material won’t notice the extra tension, and it definitely won’t crack. This would be true of the Emeralds, Rainsongs, Blackbirds and Mcphereson that I have owned and probably any other quality CF guitar. The Klos has a wood neck so I would think that might yield a different result.
Good luck, it can be an expensive rabbit hole to go down.
