Some cars have this problem, and it (usually) happens when the suspension is fully compressed. I'd put an old O-ring over the shock shaft (on the outside, between the spring cup and shock body) to slightly limit your suspension travel. Using a soft material like an o-ring will also soften impacts when the shock bottoms out.

The problem of the driveshaft hitting the outdrive is not just wear: when there is enough force involved compressing your suspension (for example during a crash or impact), you can bend the driveshaft. It could also damage your outdrives and diff bearings.
