How would the driveline get shocked?

A clutch has springs in it, which help absorb any shock.

Additionally, if I use a Nissan Leaf motor, I can limit the torque and RPM with software controls. It's not as though a Nissan Leaf car does burn-outs all the time. Everything is nicely controlled with power ramping up and down

I would think that a Leaf motor with a clutch would be the BEST way to NOT shock a driveline.
