For the sake of this thread; Yes, you can use the 3.3 driveshafts on the 1/8th diffs. you need 4 extra output shafts from the revo shafts to make it work. (cut off the thread of the shafts that holds the wheel)

UE shafts are the best cvd's available. their big CVD-ball is the biggest out there. they use notched pins to keep the pins in. Bomb-proof; with your own technical point of view, you must admit that it's weird that a 3mm pin snaps sooner than a 2mm pin. (the pin that holds the gear to the output cup) The 3mm pins you broke are replaceable though. if steel wears, Plastic wears too. Plastic absorbs energy, while retaining its original shape, steel doesn't. Dafni managed to damage a U-joint on his revo shafts, and he is using mild-powered setups. Like you said; revo shafts aren't unbreakable either. Nothing is unbreakable.

Revo shafts are cheap to replace ue's will be a tad more expensive.

If you use plastic arms, stay away from CVD's. you will either break cups, bent shafts or break pins.

With a center-diff, the revo shafts won't give up on you. They look beefy in real.
