If axles aren't slipping all over the place on a steel frame, they're not going to be slipping on an aluminum frame with steel inserts.

I've seen some bikes with single-sided dropous get chewed up pretty bad and unfortunately, not everyone knows how to properly tighten their axle nuts to prevent such damage.
My FTP with it's stainless dropouts slips so much that I don't even both riding it anymore. I just push it around town with the rear wheel on my back making engine noises.
