We purposely offset the normal driveshaft joints to even out the joint wear. Whether the offset is vertical, horizontal or a combination of both, the driveshaft can't tell the difference.
When we do a right-hand-drive car, we center the engine for more driver's foot room, so there is some additional horizontal driveshaft axis offset, but it is well within the joint's capabilities.
