Default RCSB Steel Driveshaft?

My rcsb 2010 has a factory steel driveshaft from three rivers. Is this thing ok or does it still need replacement?

They are still a thin walled steel shaft and are really not rated for speeds above 100mph. They are less prone to blowning up like the aluminum shafts but I wouldn't want to chance it. A thick walled 3in driveshaft would be ideal.
