449 ran a WCD with shaft collars retaining the wheels all of last year without any problems.
*Disclaimer: Another anecdote*

687 also ran a WCD with clamping shaft collars this past season "without issues" to my knowledge. I mean, there were plenty of issues with the drive, but clamping collars were not among them.
