Certainly a valid option, but if you get one over-zealous person (think finals match 5-minute repairs) who spins or strips a pressed-in nut you could find yourself totally hosed. If the nut is riveted in then the rivets can be drilled out and a new nut riveted in very quickly. I work with an ex-A&P mechanic and we've used these nuts with great success.
Very good point about the 6wd reliability. I would keep chain tensioners as an option, check out the AndyMark floating tensioners as a simple and cheap option.
