After watching that video, would it be possible to put some “C” shaped stiff plastic or teflon bushings/washers on the drive axle or intermediate shaft, or both? I’m thinking if this would be done early as a preventative measure, then that would help to keep the gears centered.  These might be sacrificial in nature, but I’d sure rather do that every few years than have to replace an entire frame and drive block.

Well, I tried this, and it didn't work out that well.  I actually got one working that way, but the others still were slipping.  After screwing around with Band-Aids, I figured it was easier since I had it all apart to just put a new drive block in.
