There is no problem using splined wheels with high powered automobiles.
Aston used them, the AC Cobra used them, my Lamborghini uses them. The only
trick is to make sure they splines are maintained, lubricated, and replaced
(ditto the wheels) as needed.
The Twin Cam used peg drive as a fast change mechanism as first used on the
D type Jaguars, nothing to do with braking.

I'm curious to know the real world fixes for any possible consequence of
"enthusiastic" driving with all that torque.
Can there be studs to lock the wheel and hub together to prevent the hub
from
spinning faster than the wheel, as the twin cam wheels have? (though I think
theirs is for braking purposes. And yea, I know the twin cam has steel
wheels
with knock offs)
Who can shed light on this mystery?
