Now, if that wear is none existent or no one really cares about it, then you can certainly run just one shaft.

It's just a thought I can see the part wearing out.
I fully understand the point you're making but a shaft without gears can float up and down in the diff making contact with the out drive gears. The are no protrusions in the diff lid to hold the shafts in place.
