I mean this in jest but it kind of makes me wonder if you happen to catch the crack early, would a tube of grease and some heavy duty plastic wrap + zip ties buy you some time?

Don't you mean duct tape and a couple of zipties?

At those RPMs and angles I doubt it would make it. You really have 3 choices until Ineos or aftermarket guidance,

1. Install a strap so when it lets lose it does not cause an accident or 15K in damages, and carry a spare Rezeppa joint
2. Install the Agile Off road shaft and never worry about it again, but deal with the occasional deceleration noises.
3. Do nothing and see what happens, and your odds are very bad. Maybe it wont be late at night on the highway, in the rain while towing like me. But at least I did not take out anything expensive.

Mine happened while or on the trail but was able to limp back home. Car is at dealership now to get new driveshaft and I am going to remove the lift the previous owner put on.

Problem with #1 is you may end up with a fire first.
