I used to run my slipper on the loose side in the hope it would protect the diff but that was postponing the inevitable. Apparently there are harder plates available to team drivers to save embarrassment...

The latest diff plates are a harder plate (and have been in production under same part number for a good while) and make them longer lasting.
Built correctly and run in and set so the slipper slips before the diff, have seen mine last 3 or 4 meetings.
