I speak to compete in races at a good level.
I've run all season with the same front and rear driveshaft (MI4LP) are aluminum and only at the end had something to wear, talk about 13 or more races and all your workouts.

It's more that they are fragile when taking a hit. If your worried about the weight, you can always try the 46mm alloy ones (Actually what Jilles' used on his 416 in the RedRC build videos). I'm pretty sure that the Mi4 dog-bones are beefier than the tamiya ones though...
Honestly, I tried back-backing between the 46mm steel and 46mm alloy, and didn't notice a difference. Hence why I now go for the easier (and cheaper) life of just 46mm steels everywhere
Put them on the car, and you'll be able to run not just races, but literally years on one set...
