Default Carbon driveshaft

any road racers have experience with a carbon driveshaft? Did you see a benefit or just hype? I'm debating it but wondering if any has tried it. Dss has just done a redesign.

All the different thread I have found of people having vibration issues, cracked tail housings, etc from them I have turned away from the idea. That with DSS service being really poor. Supposedly they changed the design at some point but the issues were still there.

I see little value for the money. I understand it's rotating mass, but it doesn't take much to get the thing turning to begin with.

After some discussion there isn't any reduced mass either. Same as stock. There is this theory of shock loading but I'm opting for new tires.
