I think you and I are among the few who actually don't mind taking these things apart to lube and tweak them. So a drive shaft that needs a little maintenance doesn't bother me. I'd probably forgo the little grease hole, as I wouldn't mind popping the shaft apart to grease it. Gives and excuse to go in and grease the worms as well.
As long as the shaft is good for sustained 50 scale MPH running it's good enough for me. I'll usually stick my SP AC6 Cab Forward on the point of a PFE train, set it to 50 scale MPH, and let it go for a few hours.
