Anyone upgraded the rear axle shaft's in the export JL? Are RCV's our only option?

Had a rear axle shaft fail on 38's.

It's unlikely anyone with the non-wide Dana M220 has changed anything out. In Europe, it's not very easy to install larger tires and such, so the "normal" D44 axles are totally enough.
In the US, they have a wide variant and there are upgrade options from RCV. You would need to contact them to check if they are compatible. From what I gather, their CV axle products are pretty strong.
