I noticed that too. I did some quick calculations on the bending of the shaft under stall conditions and got .000187 max deflection. But keep in mind that's at the end of the shaft, not the mating surface of the bevel gear. So it seems the long cantilever shouldn't be a problem at all.

For those interested, the values I used to calculate the deflection are as follows:
.75 length of unsupported shaft
26.5 angle of pinon pitch cone
20 degree pressure angle
3/8" 4140 hex shaft
47 lbs radial pinon load under stall
145 in-lbs at pinon under stall
25 and 50 mm pitch diameters (from AM site)
