Does it make sense to run a 3k cartridge on a 2k table?

No problem. I’ve run Koetsu Onyx on a 25 year old SOTA Star. It was awesome and yes the Onyx was able to show off and beat up on more modestly priced cartridges. But be aware that tonearm and phono stage quality & matching will become much more crucial to get the most from your high-grade cartridge - THAT’s where you can get into trouble, and you need to do your research. The Fidelity Research arm I had on that SOTA made the pairing work.

Honestly once you get to a solid deck like that (Space Deck should be nice) you can run away a little with the cartridge if you’re careful.

To add to my prior post, I currently run a table that retails for 28K (without arm), and though I love it - I'd encourage you to get the cartridge you really want first. By all reports your Gold Note phono stage is great, and won't hold you back here. And generally I find that diminishing returns don't kick in yet at the $2K cartridge level, though of course there are always exceptions. 

Really, when you get that next-level cartridge which opens your eyes...nothing finer :)
