I agree with your diagnosis but you lost me there on the recommended treatment.

Are shafts somehow immune to problems? Live axles bring there own problems. Gear teeth are not infinitely strong. And so on.

Make sure you have a reliable drive train. That is the take away. There are a lot of ways to get there, but you really need to get there.
