The discussion on re-gearing is interesting, particularly on how the newer 10 speeds are more forgiving.
In my own opinion, torque multiplication happening at the rear axle is torque multiplication that doesn’t happen between the crankshaft and axle input, and consequently should generate less heat and wear.
This may become important as you get near the max GVW rating of a transmission/t-case.
