I don't agree on that one.
There are plenty of options to reinforce the axle housing.

Only major difference between Jimny and Samurai axles are that Samurai axles are roughly 5 cm narrower.

Also gave the Jimny axles in this years Wild Boar Valley Challenge a good deal of abuse on 31" Silverstones. So I'm quite confident that they'll be up to the job on 32". Of course with reinforcements.

Yeah well.. speed itself does not. Driving style perhaps. We advanced fairly good throughout the week. Without any major breakdowns.

I have a buddy who has bent lots of jimny axles, even on 235/75 R15 MT tyres. And with plenty of reinforcements.

Anything can be broken.
And I'm fairly confident in using the jimny axles for racing.

The technical stuff looks very much like what we're used to here in Denmark. And the longer faster sections reminds me a bit of Croatia. Only Croatia hads lots of rocks
