Sounds more for a NA build (pulleys, flywheel, driveshaft, and all your internal rotating assembly) rather than for a FI application though.
I wouldn't say there are PLENTY of people using them, but there is more than one manufacturer producing carbon or aluminum one piece driveshafts in the Subaru world. I don't really think it has anything to do with NA vs. FI though, as response is response no matter how you feed air into the engine.
