Engineers always try to figure out smaller ways to to do things and that's there profession...... but Experience has overcome many engineering idea's....
So I believe we should listen to them then use our experience to make a intelligent decision on the side of Speed and Safety.
But when you are spinning a Drive Shaft at 7500 rpm's next to your body.... well that ends the question....
And I don't want a driveshaft failing on the rear or front on my car for one second.... the drive shaft can do a lot of damage in 2-3 seconds that it's going crazy.......you may not be able to put the clutch in at that point........that is just not smart....
That's like walking up to a Tiger and slapping him in the face and saying "now you got 2-3 seconds to go like mad".....
