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?
