Is it reasonable to just change the fork oil (to say 15w for an example) whilst keeping the springs etc. stock to see what change that brings, before considering a spring swap?

Fresh oil is undeniably a good thing. While you're there you may aswell change the springs. Even Hagon (or ktech) progressives are the easiest and cheapest if you're reluctant to spend cash & effort they'll be about £50 and take no thinking.
Linear springs take a bit of calculation but they'd be my choice if not going for a full blown front conversion.
I found bumpy backroads an utter pain in the **** on stock suspension.
