not if it means busting steering knuckles. honestly, i dont even think after market dana 30 shafts are for me either
It doesnt mean busting a knuckle. In fact, it drastically cuts down on the potential for that to happen (as do aftermarket shafts).
If a shaft breaks, and you keep moving, carnage WILL follow - no matter what parts you have in there. The best bet you have is to put in parts that are less likely to break, or move the breakage to somewhere managable. Prime on a front end would be to have a shaft break at the splines, or in my case, have the ring gear break. Yes, thats a show stopper, but I can unlock my hubs (or pull the front shafs if you dont have them), pop it in 2wd and strap off of the trail. Break a balljoint or knuckle due to a broken shaft, and you're leaving your rig on the trail for people to steal your shit while you walk to town for parts and tools.
