In my experience, this is not true.

Be sure you use clamping shaft collars rather than set-screw ones. I have never had problems with properly-tightened clamping shaft collars moving in an FRC drive train.

449 ran a WCD with shaft collars retaining the wheels all of last year without any problems.
