Lots of rock crawling would need a stronger axle than loose dirt and mud.
A diff lock will fix that weakness and give you a stiffer carrier. The single pin can cause some ovaling of the pin hole in the carrier. It is usually excessive wheel spin that causes the pin to break, not the stress of placing your drive through a single pin.
