Threaded rod through ball bearings

My gut tells me running threaded rod as a live axle on a drive is a bad idea, but I'm curious if any folks have hands-on experience with this or some words of wisdom about what the pitfalls may be.

It's entirely possible to avoid using threaded rod through the bearings, but it'd simplify things a lot and make me a much happier person if it were an acceptable alternative.

Okay, so.. go!
