So I have heard from reliable authorities.

Possibly. It's worth a try. If you take the front flange loose from the
transmission it may drop down far enough to allow the front half of the shaft
to
be removed from the rear half (be sure to undo the threaded cap) and reindex
the two halves.
But disconnecting the rear flange from the differential and withdrawing the
whole shaft isn't that much more work. I think. I've done it on an early TR6.
