Im not saying cv joints never fail, but if you go to a track day virtually everyone is running stock axles and I haven't seen any cars going home on a trailer because of it.
Some people on this forum have a vested interest and a history of trying to scare people into buying expensive parts from them that they don't actually need.
Ive been running hard for years with no concerns and no issues until I accidentally damaged a boot while messing with the exhaust. I disassembled the joint and it looks like new, but the boot is ruined so I replaced the whole axle with a used OEM one I got off ebay for $75. It is working fine as well.

That's not what breaks axles. It's sudden shock load when the axle cannot take any more.
Just because you've not had a history of failures doesn't mean everyone will mirror your experience.
