Also, by strengthened driveshaft do they mean better metal/CF and less rotational mass? Because a heavier one would be a crime. A CF driveshaft is high on my list of to-dos.

If power is everything, then you have choices. If handling is everything... you have very, very few choices.
After decades of everyone ripping out intakes, exhausts, and headers you'd think they'd get the point and just design them better. It's only engineering, it would still be made from the same amount of metal, if not less. That's just one of the frustrating things about risk-averse manufacturing that pretty much dominates affordable cars.
