Failure in normal driving is likely to be benign and manifest simply as a loss of LS functionality, as the most likely failure point I can see is the friction surfaces. In track use, it's theoretically possible you could break a spring or something, but you'd need a lot more power to do so unless the springs are made of soft cheese.

The big unknown is the durability of the friction surfaces. It will take some testing time to figure that out. I'd love to see micrometer measurements and visual comparisons of the friction areas after a few thousand miles.
