What sort of mileage did you get out of the drive shafts? I've been told by a garage the boots on the driveshafts on my 32 yr old 300D are ripped so they're letting in crud but that the driveshafts are so strong there is no point in replacing them just yet and should go on a fair few years/until they make more noise.
To be fair at not far off 300k miles it probably deserves some but although mine does 20k miles pa and also never breaksdown it is noweher near as nicely kept as yours so no point just throwing parts at anything that isn't 100% or I'd end up replacing the whole car...
