Anti-wrap idea

When checking for parts for an antiwrap I had an idea when I saw some old CJ front driveshafts laying in the barn.

What if I cut the ends off of the driveshafts and used them as a top bar of my antiwrap. The slip should essentially eliminate the need for the shackle. Check out attachment for example. Is there anything that I am missing of why this would or wouldn’t work. Just seems like one of those ideas that seem great but would have a flaw I am overlooking.

The only things I could think of is being sure there is enough travel in the driveshaft and the wearing of the joint from the pressure of the axle trying to wrap
