With Driveshafts, the item to keep an eye on is the cvd pins. I just replaced mine throughtout the car. (The car was built in october and has been run pretty much every week since)
It's much better to replace this single item every couple of months than replace the whole driveshaft sets.

If you leave it too long, the worn pin becomes 'loose' in the hole on the driveshaft. This excessive play then gets worse as each time you get on the gas or the brakes the pin moves 'extra distance' in the hole and hits the edge of the hole harder. This then becomes a vicious circle and before you know it, rather than just changing a pin you need to change the whole caboodle!

TBH: The list doesn't seem too bad to me. I guess I change my driveshafts once a year on the car. But I do change the pins probably every couple of months. You can tell when they are failing as they 'slop' about in the hole. You know when the driveshaft needs changing as a new pin will also 'slop' about in the hole.

My tips would be to clean and grease very month or so and change the pin as soon as you notice wear.
