Magus ranged into MC into Investigator potentially works, you trade a chance of not wasting your spellstrike in a turn (bad roll, so shoot different target) for the ability to spellstrike every turn (you don't have that action to recharge your spellstrike anymore). Good for determining when to use your precious spellslots, not good if you're mostly going to spam cantrips, I would think.
Now with a proper spellstriking class, devise a strategem is a tempting ability to multiclass for. The investigator/ Eldridge Archer combo can now be adapted with the magus. Is it worth adding even more action cost though to save those spell slots though?
IMO, it's only really tempting for Starlit Span as they don't really care about Arcane Cascade [as written, they don't get a damage boost, it just makes the strike magical] and might moves less: the action economy is already tight [spellstrike and recharge is 3 actions]. It's also 2 feats to get it and the Magus actually has a good feats every level so it's still a tough call. Plus it would compete with a spell casting archetype for more spells to spellstrike.
All together, it's a tough sell IMO. It'd be mostly for a first strike with a spell slot, especially if you can get it off as a free action [from Pursue that Lead].
EDIT: I just thought of the Ancient Elf. With the free multiclass dedication, it's only be 1 class feat to get it at 4th... Doing that makes it look better. ;)

DaS is a fortune effect, so you can't pair it with true strike.
