you will crash it before the shafts have time to snap.

Have made loads of welded shafts for grass trackers.
You need to turn a sleeve to a perfect fit so you can slide the cut ends into so the run true.
Not a simple thing to do if you have not got a lathe or a very good welder.
Plus IF welded right then they shouldnet snap.

Old friend who does XE conversions welds the shafts.Never had any issues with mine and hes never had issues with any others hes done.Even had them on his LET Corsa without problems.
He used to weld them at the CV joint.Cut right around the CV joint at the highest radial point then weld the required CV joint on.
