What about steel though? Especially with the smaller gears, the weight increase isn't going to be that significant, and if case hardened, I can't imagine you'd see much wear.
Gears breaking isn't normally a huge problem but it would be great to have some drop in 4140 steel replacements for gears maybe up to 24 tooth sizes.

Hopefully they could also be black oxide coated for superior performance

Yes, the weight increase in terms of total gearbox wouldn't be very significant so this would be a viable option.
