A live axle requires a keyway/hex feature and some sort of retention for the wheel/sprocket separate fro each other.

Cool. Good to know. Do you not lose those advantages with this being exact C2C chain in tube though? I'd imagine you need those tolerances to be high still so going to a dead axle doesn't really help in this case does it?
I'm a Software Engineer not a Mechanical Engineer so these are serious questions.
