Most of the time the delrin disk at the bottom didn't even do anything and under normal playing conditions there was very little turning friction.

Ditto the use of a needle bearing. As long as the thrust load is handled with something like a delrin ring like Dillon mentioned, the needle bearing is an effective quick and dirty solution.
