I have never investigated a problem with the planet gear system. It seems to me that in driving straight the whole assembly will turn as one with no relative movement of the components, so it will not cause noise or other problems. Also the whole lot is properly lubricated, unless the owner has neglected to keep the oil level correct; in that situation any play will lead to further wear.
