I believe the engineers compensate for this by making the unequal length shafts also unequal thicknesses so it compensates for the metal when it binds under heavy acceleration.

Or have a half shaft the runs from the diff to the other side and mounted to the back of the block then from there it has an equal length axel to the wheel.
