There are more cost effective ways to cut weight provided that you havent exhausted your other options.
I don't think most people have an issue with the CF shafts but some have reported vibration. I think pinion angle may have a little to do with it but CS seems to be a bigger factor. User @prandelia was one of the first I saw to bring this up. Then @blsfrs had his failure of a DSS aluminum shaft. I always had issues with my DSS AL shaft and had it rebalanced a couple times before I pulled it out. DSS wants like 3-350 to reshaft it you pay shipping.
