To my understanding, the occasion when you use a live system is when the gearbox is directly driving either the center wheel (live) or a corner wheel but then the other two wheels are on dead axles.

Someone want to clarify this for me?
Live axles are great for small sprockets/wheels, cantilevered "west coast drive" or direct driven wheels. They are also great if you use 3/8" hex, 1/2" hex, or 1/2" keyed drive shafts with the ends stepped down to 3/8" with both ends of the shaft supported. This keeps the shaft in place without any need for shaft collars, roll pins, etc. Some wheels (like Colsons) are easy to broach (or press a knurled aluminum hub into), but nearly impossible to drill a bolt pattern into.
