I have BB86 fitted with DA cranks. I periodically check in on this: are there any magical new crank options that could lower the weight without while maintaining stiffness?

I was reading the skypivot thread and it looks like they tried a 24mm titanium axle? But those seemed to be inadequate.

This racework crank was featured on trace velo a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2NmySF6hh4
It comes with a 24mm aluminum axle. Trace velo likes them, but I assume the consensus is that they will sacrifice stiffness.

Is DA still the best option? (Maybe this just a place I shouldn't try to cut weight haha)
