youll be fine with your 30 and 513s
perfect for 35s on up...
if you pop a ujoint and ruin your axleshaft, replace it with superior shafts, they accept a full circle clip(way better cap retention)

After switching my 30 out for a 44 and getting the parts of the 30 ready to sell, I discovered that one side of the 30 axle was missing 2 c-clips and the other had 1 installed improperly which wasn't retaining the cap. I'd say they were both disasters waiting to happen. It could be that the tolerances are just a bit more loose in the 44 yokes though, allowing the caps to fall out easier.

Do a search on broken axle housings. There are many members here who have experienced it, so I would just venture to guess that there are many more failures since I am sure this forum is only a small representative of the JK owners out there.
