I'm thinking client to ADFS server communications from the fabrikam.com clients in the other forest to the ADFS server(s) in contoso.com are also required by:

- Opening port 443 on the firewall so the fabrikam.com clients can talk to adfs.contoso.com over HTTPS.

- Use split DNS and a conditional forwarder to adfs.contoso.com in the fabrikam.com DNS servers so they can resolve the address across the VPN/direct tunnel, if it exists.

- Adding adfs.contoso.com to the Intranet zone for fabrikam.com clients via GPO.

- fabrikam.com clients should bypass proxies when accessing adfs.contoso.com.

Will test this in my lab and get back with the results.

Yes I got this working! I used all of the ports listed in the AD section here (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/832017/service-overview-and-network-port-requirements-for-windows#4) and also added Kerberos tcp/88. I also implemented the other communications I suggested and SSO to office.com from the trusted forest works beautifully.
