If you want to keep a weak spot (fuse), put it in your driveshaft u-joints. Driveshafts are by far the quickest and easiest to replace on the trail.

The front driveshaft is not overkill already. I use your same logic with driveshaft as being the weak link. I have warn outer lockouts and may just replace all the shafts and add flanges but do not want to break the ring and pinion. 5.38 ratio.
