m,
Now I got the picture.
That's not something I've seen. Probably as long as the ground clearance under the engine and trans isn't too small, it doesn't sound like a problem. I don't think the u-joints care "who's on top" as long as their angles are properly aligned.
You may want to see if suspension deflection for a live axle causes an excessive angle in rear suspension compression since the angle would increase with that movement.
If the rear axle is an IRS, then no problem with deflection.
If my cars were built that way the trans would probably be the first part that scrapes the small bumps in the road. Maybe your driveline has enough clearance.
