Input output shaft thinking

Input output shaft thinking
I have a question. Wouldn't it make sense to have a weak link in your drive line somewhere?say you upgrade your input shaft but not your output shaft. At least if the output shaft is the weaker link and it breaks you know what it is and it's easy and cheaper to fix than say an input shaft or a whole transmission. Does that have any authority or if you build your transmission right, will anything really break or ever have problems? Also since my tranny already has the upgraded 1-3/8 input shaft, should I buy a new one when I buy a new clutch? Thanks!

If it were an automatic and you were build it it up then I would say intermediate shaft first then input then output shaft since they get easier and easier to replace(intermediate taking the most work) However most manuals don't have the problem with the input shafts breaking because its a lot harder to do things like boosted launches and the like.
