Perhaps, but every other brand uses the inboard bearing design and they all seem to work perfectly well. Campy made the change to a deeper splined aluminum cassette body with an oversized aluminum axle back in 2000 and it works quite well. They've never had to redesign the hub since then. It makes their Record hub cheaper and lighter than Shimano. Shimano resorted to a pricey Ti cassette body to bring the weight down on the 7850 hub, but it still weigh more than a Campy hub.

Those shallow Shimano splines are not a good design.
