Yes but mechanically the force on the front bearing increases with the distance of the mesh, that's why for example the RC elite motor mount include another bearing to dispatch the stress between front motor bearing and the mount bearing...
Maybe your bearings would have lasted even longer without clutch bell... Anyway like you say the best solution would be pinion + slipper, but most of people run their buggies and truggies with a direct drive system without drive train problems...
For the Monster-trucks an the other hand, with their very high grip and large tires, the drive train is more stressed for sure so a slipperential could be needed...
