I put 80W90 gear oil in my shaft rides once each. This oil is probably overkill for m/c's, but I never changed it afterwards. Never had a shaft issue.

Only thing it used was 5.2 oz of 80-90 wt oil couple times a year and grease the splines when replacing the rear tire with an ounce or two of grease. Typical on the ST forum where some guys have 3 times that mileage on their ST's without shaft drive issues.

My original chain and sprockets on my CB lasted 36,909 miles. Which really isn't bad.

Still a chain is the correct drive system for the CB.

And a shaft is the proper drive system on an FJR, or BMW R1200RT, or a Kaw Concours IMO.

A German or Italian shaft on the CB would definitely not appear right. The less sophisticated Japanese shafts (the older style ones) would be a rebirth of the CB with shaft.
