I plan to drive it. I would be much more concerned about the set screw if it was going on a completely round shaft. I think it is less likely to be a problem going to the flat spot on a D-shaped shaft. I also have the little aluminum piece in there.

The u-joint can't have unlimited rotation on the shaft unless the set screw shears off right where it screws into the u-joint. If the aluminum piece disintegrates and the set screw loosens its grip a bit I would get limited rotation of the u-joint of the shaft. The set screw wouldn't get past the flat spot.

I still would prefer to have a u-joint with splines that match. I would welcome anyone pointing me toward a 16mm 60 spline u-joint.
